Input/output Jack and wires

[zookj]

I am building the cavedweller delay pedal and am just wondering about where and/or what kind of input/output jacks to get? I am also unsure of what kind of wire is needed to attach them to the PCB and where to get that.

Thanks

Its all about where your located and quality you want. If you are not planing for a internal battery then you can go with both mono jacks for in/out. If you want an internal battery then you will need a stereo jack for your input for switching. Im not a fan of batteries so I use all mono jacks myself.

These are what I use:

But there are also these:

If you are UK based you will have to wait for another member that has some experience ordering from UK shops. Although most of the links above have international shipping options. Some are better than others.

So if I went with the mono jacks, What else would I have to purchase in order to power the pedal? What would I have to purchase in order to use a battery? I am very new to this

To get this information you could search the several way to wiring the circuit with jacks, led... it is called off board wiring.

Look at General Guitar Gagdet wiring, or Tonepad. There are some. Of course on this web site, too, there's one.

You need a DC jack for an external power supply like a 9v Boss (most of pedal are negative ground).
A 5mm or 3mm LED, and a resistor for limiting current for this LED (if it isn't included on the board).
Jacks mono (or one of them stereo), a 3PDT footswitch.

Good research!
