Do they sell vactrols at Tayda?

[FUZZZZzzzz]

If they do.. I certainly cant find them. anyone?

[jmasciswannabe]

Nah, but they carry an LDR and LEDs to roll your own. Might, might not work depending on application. Check LDR datasheet and compare to needed specs.

I recently did this.  There should be a thread here someplace on how to do it.

Found it:  http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=95269.0

I used the cheap Tayda LDR's and diffused green LEDs' (Tayda) with great results.

I tried both before, but sometimes I just like to paint by numbers. I need it to build the multiplex echo machine from 1776 effects.

worst case scenario I'll just order it somewhere else

[italianguy63]

You can still find those.  Not at Tayda though.

I know, but buying everything from one dealer is so much easier (and cheaper).. Normally, I buy everything up to 30 euros from my local dealer.. very fast delivery (within 24 hours) but for bigger projects I will use tayda.

Are you doing your own board?  The 1776effects website indicates that they include the vactrol when you buy their board.

The H11F1 is has exceptionally high dark resistance and exceptionally low on resistance. You will not duplicate that with a Tayda photocell. Plus you'll probably have trouble fitting the parts on the PCB.

The plans call for a photo-FET, not a photo-resistor (Vactrol).

While it would probably work with an ad-hoc photo-R and an LED, the specified H11F1 presumably gives the designed slow-fast rates. And is readily available, though apparently not at Tayda.
