Sounds like a plan. It looks like I should just buy a bunch in one go, so I have the part on hand for future builds. I just don't like the cost of shipping on electronics components for small orders. Thanks for all the help.

Hey! Sorry I took so long to get back. I'm working on the Sharkfin. I finally got around to getting the PCB and am about to order parts. Thanks again!

Hey! I was wondering what the best substitute would be for a J201 JFET? They are either expensive or kind of difficult to find. It's the last part of my order that I need and the only one that the store I'm using is out of.

Thank you!

Thanks for the answers to my questions. Kind of wish I understood how to figure this aspect of electronics out. I'm guessing I just need to continue studying. If l'm remembering correctly, a type B pot is linear. Smallbear carries them. They've been good, overall,  for parts that are difficult to source elsewhere.

I'm thinking of taking on building a Sharkfin. I was looking at the parts list and had three questions. A lot of this has to do with shopping at one place and not multiple, so I don't get stuck with huge shipping fees, or there's the chance that I'll have the component at home.

What would be an acceptable replacement for a BAT46 diode? Smallbear has a BAT41.

What voltage should the caps be rated for?

Should I be using 1/2 or 1/8 watt resistors?

I'm sorry if I'm missing something on the build document but I'm not seeing it.
