Friggin 1M8 resistor?!

[phreek]

Is this gonna get me there?

And yes Ima trim the leads, I don't wanna hear what people on the space station are talkin about! 

[Aleph Null]

Sure will—the electrons won't know the difference!

[phreek]

Is the 1.803 gonna be within reasonable tolerance? I mean.... Thassa lotta Ohms lmao!

Of course, you'll be fine. Is it a biasing resistor?

Add some solder to your twisted connections before you cut them.

Acceptable tolerance for resisters is 1-2% but that's just because they can actually manufacture them that tight. For comparison tolerance for caps is 5-20% depending on cap type.  Your pedal is going to work.

With 1,800,000 ohms being the absolute, a 1% tolerance would be1,782,000 to 1,818,000 ohms

I'm certainly in tolerance.

Haha brief summary of my dweeb post here...
I went full dork and should have just math'd it from the get go.

Have I built hundreds of pedals, well yea. Is my ability to be a goof always a factor?

Abso-dweebin-lutely!

Thanks for the responses fellas, I'm sure I'll need em again!
