Title: Resistor substitution in Orange Squeezer circuit
Post by: ugly_guitar_guy on January 05, 2012, 10:57:34 PM
Hey guys, I'm currently populating a 1590A-sized Orange Squeezer that was built by a fella over at madbean. Here's the build info (pdf):

Now, as I'm building it I realize that R5 is 2.4k and I only have 2.2k and 2.7k. Also, R7 is 390k, and I only have 330k and 470k. Can I sub any of those and still have it run happily or do I need to make another trip to the electronics store tomorrow? Thanx!

simple rule is that most components have a 10% tolerance, so there actual rating could be +/- 10% of what is marked. So as long as you are with in 10% you will be good.
