Can I use 11k in place of 10k?

I've started building A phase 45 clone(on perfboard :| ), but I seem to have used all my 10k's, can I use 11k instead or will that majorly screw this thing up? I have all the other parts in the correct value.........

yes (genarally spoken)
it`s just a tolerable 10% more.
if you`re afraid, you can parallell them
with a 100k, to get back to 10k  :lol:

It can depend however, a little on which
function the Rs have (dunno the circuit).
If you`re talking about the series of Rs,
that go into the inv.-inputs and from there to the
outputs of the opamps, it`s perfectly OK,
as long as they are all the same: they can even
be 22k or 47k without ruining the overall function...

It won't matter much, but remember, you can always sub a part, question is if the circuit will work as described. It's like building a closet slightly different from how the instructions tell you to. The doors might open fine, but they could also get jammed, it all depends ;)

but most resistors have 10% tolerance anyway, at least the ones I use. Your 10k resistors might just be 11k ;)
I don't like Holland. Nobody has the transistors I want.

well my minds at rest now, so I can get started :mrgreen:

thanks!!
