PIO caps

does anyone know where to order PIO caps except ebay?
thanks

FWIW I have ordered quite a bunch of russian PIO caps on ebay and it worked great for me, every parcel turned up fully correct and the caps are the sh#t for amp building IMO and I also use them as tone caps in guitars.
Other suppliers apart from ebay I have checked before, found some but prices were inflated and I didn't regret at all ordering from Russia via ebay.

A few people at Wattkins have used this store, i believe in the motherland.

thanks guys

yes ive found some at ebay but they are quite expensive. but maybe its the easiest way

this store look pretty cool and the caps im looking for are quite cheap :-) nice

it sounds strange but i need them for a gainster pedal build. wanna try some mojo parts hehe^^

Not pio, but I use tropical fish caps sometimes. Not too expensive and they look cool imo. Big mojo factor...

[luks999]

never heard from tropical fish, sounds funny
thanks for the tips guys, just ordered from the russian. for this build i wanna go with all the correct mojo parts

Clark Gainster w/ tropical fish caps. They are the ones with the multi-colored horizontal stripes.

thats interesting, great now i know how they look

ive read the gainster also uses pio caps (the green ones)

heres a pic


seems they built different ones.

actually i want to build a hoochee mama pedal, anyone heard of this? its a gainster clone with mojo parts. the only thing i know for sure is that the hoochee mama uses a 4558 chip instead of the LF353
some hm builds use orange drops capactors as well

i go with PIO and mallory caps, and with carbon comp resistors im very curious how it will sound
