I've been talking to the sales person over at Tayda and they are adding a lot of stuff to their site! These include enclosures (1590B for now) and 3pdt switchs as someone else had mentioned. Upon talking to the person they told me they are trying to add more products for pedal builders to make it less stops for what you need. So they are working on DC power jacks, 1/4" jacks, more metal film resistors, more transistors, and adding poly box caps which they said will be half the price of other places but will be stocked 1 by 1 as its a pricey investment. I wanted to ask all of you if there was more products I should mention for them to add to their site. It seems to me like they are trying to make a great shop better!
Cool, I just ordered some stuff the other day. Shipping was reasonable about $5.
quality jacks would be nice.
They should get more knobs and switches also.
I mentioned jacks which they are working on. I'll add the "quality" part in too! Next email I'll tell them more knobs and switchs :)
Their 1590b are already out of stock :o
Has anyone used their enclosures, 3pdt switches, or metal film resistors? I was thinking about ordering some. If so, what quality are they?
I ordered a few 3PDT switch, and they seem the same quality as all of the other blue ones I've used.
I wouldn't order a huge lot of stomp switches until they are verified to work well. I got a good sized order of stompers from an asian source and 2 out of 10 failed within a couple of weeks of light use. just start slow with those as they are some of the most costly staples we use.

+1
Yes everytime I talk to the sales rep I will remember to mention quality. It really does make a big difference.
+1 on more knobs, switches, jacks
other things I'd like to see: more values of 25v caps, more pedal friendly diodes, trannies, & ICs (like what mammoth has)

Sounds good. I'll send them another email later today with all your suggestions! Hopefully this will help to reduce number of places to order, which means less shipping costs and happy people. ;D
I just received some pots from tayda today and they all have condoms ;D
does anyone want to PM me that tayda coupon. I am ordering right now....
Thanks team. Haberdasher hooked me up.
Anyone use any of the pt2399's from Tayda? At 51 cents it seems to good to be true....
Josh
I just got a bunch of 3pdt's from them, they had them for $6.99 with free shipping for 2 on eBay thaishine is their ebay name. Same as everyone else's blue 3pdt's. If they would carry the Cliff brand ones, that would be nice.

All reports so far are that their PT2399 chips are a tad iffy. It seems their specs run wider than most, causing a lot of builds to act funny. YMMV
Ive used about 10 or so. All worked fine, maybe I'm lucky!
Although I put in a huge order last night and didn't realize there was a coupon...dang...
I can also vouch for the resistors, pots, caps (box and greenie - althought for some reason the .022 box caps are massive), switches, DC jacks, and soon the right angle 1/4 jacks.

I too use all of their stuff with no problems. I saw those 1/4'' jacks, gonna grab some of those. And they added a whole bunch of Davies knobs!!
they sold out of those black Davies REALLY quick too.
Yeah, I noticed their green colored .022 wima box caps are roughly 1uF sized. I haven't tried to fit them onto anything yet.
I didn't receive notice of there being any coupon. Hook a brotha up?

It's funny, my last order included red, blue and yellow WIMA caps. Go on the facebook and ask for a coupon, the lady always hooks me up.
The black knobs are already gone!!! geeezz i hope they get some more!
IF they get 125B enclosures, they will be my hero. :D
I've had no issue with the Tayda PT2399 chips. No problem with the 3PDT's either. I really like their PCB mount Alpha pots with condoms.
Wow I had no idea Tayda 2399's were questionable. My recent Echo Base build has a persistent rhythmic noise [not the standard static on the repeats noise] whose frequency is tied to the delay time pot. The pedal is dead quiet with the pt2399 removed and I can't find a flaw with the rest of the build so the chip is likely in spec enough to work and out of spec enough to be very noisy. I'll pick a few up from a stateside distributor and see if that doesn't solve the noise issue.

So my first experience with Tayda isn't going so well. I purchased about $160 worth of goods from them on September 12th and payed with PayPal. I kept checking the status of my order and it just kept saying "ordered."
After about 10 days, I sent a quick email to them asking what's up. They responded that I haven't paid the full total of the order. What the @)$(%? I sent them a copy of the PayPal receipt and they responded back that while they did get this there was a balance of like $10 and change. I was stumped. They said this was a PayPal error and beyond their control.
They waived the $10 balance and within 48 hours of my email discussion with them, they shipped out the order. I informed them that I have heard great things about their product and while this is my first order I was hoping it wouldn't be my last. I will have to wait now to see what arrives.
the did the SAME thing with me.
I placed an order and quickly received an email about a "paypal error" and had to send them an extra $15. I paid it and they shipped my order. It seemed super sketchy to me.
What's the point of getting a coupon and buying stuff on sale if you end up paying the difference anyway? I've never ordered from Tayda...
Jacob
That's odd. I have ordered from Tayda a bunch of times, small orders, large orders, and everything in between, and I have never had that problem from them.
I had my debit/credit card hacked via a PayPal transaction a few months back. I had ordered from Madbean, Tayda, and MusicPCB the same day so I don't know which one was the cause I thought about informing MB and Taylor but, since they can't tell me which site it was I didn't want to raise alarm or blame.
I had a client who had the same thing happen to their site/clients so we switched to Google Checkout. Before that we had many people call and say outright that they wouldn't order from them since PayPal was the only option and they had been hacked before via PayPal transactions.
I still get wary every time I order from someone who only accepts PayPal, since it's happened twice to me. (Previous time was 3 years ago.)
So, that extra charge may be some kind of hacker adding a charge onto it.
But, I didn't have any issues as far as extra charges with Tayda. It got here pretty quick. Little consolation when my bank account was disabled for about two weeks though...
J
Thanks for the confirmation...it seems I am not alone. I am not too worried about the order arriving complete, it is just a pain that it was held up for like 10 days!
Was the amount unpaid the postage amount? I am sure on my few small orders with them that whilst going though the paypal process some pages had the postage included but others did not.

I'm not sure what you mean by paying the difference anyway. I've never had a single problem with Tayda and I've made orders with them 4 or 5 times now. It's a heckuva bargain IMHO.
i think Jacob is just referencing that if you were to use a coupon, for say $10 off, and then they say that there is a $10 unpaid difference (due to a Paypal error), the coupon is then useless.
But again, I've ordered many times from them, orders that were large & small, and I've never had an issue.
Ive ordered from tayda many times and have had great results. The first time i ordered from them, it took nearly a month to get my order, but they told me ahead of time that it would be that long. That was when they were first getting into carrying pedal building supplies. Since then, they have gotten better and better. Ive noticed their prices have started to creep up a bit each time i order, but they are still so much cheaper than anywhere else.
Just wanted to follow up on my post about Tayda 2399's. I got one from small bear and it performed exactly as the 4 I got from Tayda so for the moment those 50 cent 2399's are a super deal.
I don't know if this has been discussed but tayda has a us based site where everything ships from the us. They don't have everything and you have to buy multiples.
http://www.thaishine.com
or at least thats what this thread (http://www.freestompboxes.org/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=14407&view=unread#p164208)says. It certainly appears that way.
Yeah, I saw that site today when I bought some DPDT's on ebay from them. Interesting indeed.
I've bought from that ebay site often enough - good prices on some things.
Jacob
Woah never seen that US based site before. I figured out they had a distributor from the US because my last shipment was packaged and sent out from Massachusetts even though I made my order on the regular site. I was very confused how I received the package in about 3 days until I checked out the return address. That US sites' prices are much higher than the regular site. Kinda strange to me...

Are you sure it's DPDT and not 3PDT? I think its weird they would have them on their ebay site and not their main page.
Interesting, I didn't know they were the same as thaishine. I'll stick with the tayda store though. Every order I've ever placed with them came out of MA and only took about a week to arrive. I'm pretty happy with them so far.
...oh and free shipping

It was DPDT Toggle Switches, not footswitches. This: http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-x-Mini-Toggle-Switch-DPDT-On-Off-On-High-Quality-USA-Seller-/320769868920?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aaf5fc478
I just got a shipment in from Tayda a few minutes ago. First time ordering from them, and I am very happy with it. Came in a week, great communication, selection, and of course prices. ;D
I checked out their "American" store, but my order came from Massachusetts anyways so it isn't a big deal to me.
Anyone know why everything is out of stock on Tayda right now? Website glitch?
I was up for ordering a bunch of stuff, particularly the nice 1590b they do. :(
I dont know. I placed an order with them about 3 days ago and most everything was in stock and the order went through fine. The 1590b's seem to be out of stock quite a bit. Ive never ordered any from them, but i am tempted to. They look pretty decent. They cost pretty much the same as the newsensor 1290ns from PPP, which are awesome.
The tayda site had been down for maintenance the last couple of days so hopefully they are just getting it back up and running
I've been planning to order some stuff from there, looks like I waited too long. It says they are closed for holidays for the next 4 days.
Seems like the PT2399 from Tayda arent 100% good
Could be fake, could be bad batch either way I bought 20 (why not at $0.55 each, right?)
well they sound poor, and motorboat above half way on the delay time, really sucks.
Sound ok at short delay times.
Caveat Emptor and all that...
^Arghhhh, I finished my Sea Urchin last night and above halfway on the delay it sounds terrible and motorboats. Also i built the one chip chorus and that has troubles so I guess my PT2399's from Tayda are s*** as well. Only bought 3 though. Not glad that you have 20 that are rubbish but by posting you have saved me a lot of messing around ..so a big THANK YOU.
Yeah no worries mate glad to help.
Mine sounds way nicer with a kosher chip in it ;)
Ordered one from Dr Tweek, where did you get yours? And any joy with right angle mount PCB Pots
Just finished an Urchin build and my Tayda 2399's are locking up on me which shouldn't really be happening with this circuit. Power it up and hey no delay signal. Cycle the power and hey there's my delay signal! Strange because the 2399's I got from Tayda sound and function just like my 'reference chip' I got from smallbear. That is until the Urchin build. Hmmmm.

Hi
I have some from Tweek and some from Futurlec.
These Tayda ones dont look the same.
No circular indentation and the font is off
I ordered some from Tayda and some from Futurlec, they both look pretty similiar IIRC. I've tried a few in the doombutter and Little angel chorus, both worked fine. With FC's Little Angel On FSB there was a lot of mixed results with the circuit, some people's just worked (like mine) and some people had problems with theirs locking up and such. Some people found solutions with circuit tweaks and the chip they used for the dual op-amp seemed to make a difference..
I have a Rebote 2.5 almost done gonna see if they work in that. I'll build a Sea Urchin eventually too to test some out.
they have 1590a's now :)
http://www.taydaelectronics.com/servlet/the-2462/1590B-STYLE-ALUMINUM-DIE/Detail
and 1590bb's
http://www.taydaelectronics.com/servlet/the-2463/1590B-STYLE-ALUMINUM-DIE/Detail
Is anyone in contact with there purchasing division/ the company in general and could possibly make a suggestion to them regards stock?
If we could get them to stack Alpha Right Angle Board Mounted pots such as many of the new Bean boards are using they'd almost be a one stop shop.
Those smaller black 3PDTs from Mammoth electronics would be sweet too but i'm not sure if Tayda have any connection to 4site.

Hey Scruffie, thye get a lot of requests on thier facebook page for new products... I've made a few suggestions!
Nice new stuff!!! I'm halfway through an order with them!
When I started this thread I was emailing the lady who stocks/orders parts for them. I got her to add the film box caps and some random transistors (bc449,bc550). I keep urging them to focus a bit more on pedal parts and they would have a decent amount of business there alone. Scruffie, if you wanna make a list I can email her again and at least they will know its in demand and hopefully work towards stocking it. I'm pretty sure she is the one who runs the FB page, which does take suggestions! I want them to add 9mm pots and DPDT switches but they are probably already on it..
shit i just ordered damn i will be reordering now those enclosures will be nice if the b ones are anything to go by...

Hmm...
Well definitley the board mounty pots, that's a big thing. Oh with solid shafts that is, not split shafts.
Like these - http://www.smallbearelec.com/Detail.bok?no=692
More knobs would be nice if they get those pots, but they're probably already on that.
The smaller 3PDTs as I said... although i'm not sure if they'll be able to get those.
Hard Plastic/Standard T-Style Battery Snaps.
And a minor thing would be some LT1054 charge pumps, not that important though.
125b sure would be nice
yes that would be excellent.
Though for now I am more than happy with the BB and A additions, just ordered 10 today
External nut DC jacks would be nice :)
Hi,
that´s funny:
tried the US Website (www.thaishine.com) and found the 3DPTs more expensive then here:
http://taydaelectronics.com/electromechanical/switches-key-pad/stomp-switch.html (http://taydaelectronics.com/electromechanical/switches-key-pad/stomp-switch.html)
Not much difference, but the suggested price of 6,99 for two is a dollar more.
Enclosures are out of sale on the US site, but available here:
http://taydaelectronics.com/hardware/enclosures.html (http://taydaelectronics.com/hardware/enclosures.html)
Although I´ve ordered several times at Tayda and never had any probs with them. The 1590b are sometimes very sharp at the edges and needed some "work".
regards
I've had several orders from the tayda site, but ship from within the states. I think the reason you would pay more at the thaishine site is for convenience, you can almost bet you will have your products in about 4 days or so rather than 2 weeks, if yours in the states.
Well, located in germany it really doesn´t matter to me....it´ll take weeks for shipping, either US or Asia.
just wondering ;)
compared to the prices you´ve to pay for some of these parts around here, it´s worth waiting :D

That's great, man! ;D Thanks for the heads-up! I ordered a few things from them last week (expecting them on monday.. yey!) and it seems now I will order again! ::)
check your order thoroughly when it arrives. I just received a $200 order with several bags with wrong valued caps. like 100 1uf box caps labeled .0047uf and .027 caps labeled .022, a dozen tlo71's instead of 72's, and many more. several values I ordered weren't sent at all. this was the first problem I've had with them and I don't know how often it goes on. on the whole they are pretty reliable but I just wanted to let you guys know

I've ordered three times (orders about 50$ sum) from them without any problems.. This thing with different values just happened once. 27nF labeled as 22nF. Only one time. Other than that, it never happened to me that something was missing. Until now, I'm really satisfied with the service and quality...
How did you manage this problem? Did you communicate with them? What did they answer?
I've had missing items bagged with other items and not labelled. (so not missing after all)
And 8.2k resistors instead of 6.2k but the color codes were easily confused with the faint stripes on the batch sent. Everything else spot on every time like 10 times now.
I have had a few errors of omission with my Tayda orders but they make it right pretty much immediately. Well as immediately as shipping components from Thailand can be. Be sure to unbag everything as I have had five or six values of resistors bagged up together. It helps to lay your DMM on a sample of everything on receipt just to make certain.
When I was building up my dirtbag the they sent me 1n8 instead of 3n9 caps which I was lucky to notice as I populated. No matter though, I had 3n9 on hand and I can likely use 1n8 in the future.
My order from Tayda just arrived today! ;D I didn't have any problems. I unbagged all the stuff out and checked them out. All the parts were there.. So don't be afraid to order from them at anytime. I've never had any serious problem with them. Mistakes just happen all the time! ;)
Hector
P.S. I'm not advertising them. Just a satisfied customer here! ;D
Had an order from tayda a couple of weeks ago and everything was there and labeled up correctly. Nice.
Just noticed a few things on the site that look new

Has anyone ever emailed Tayda with suggestions about some parts to carry and if so did they respond in some way?
For example, their enclosures selection sucks. Since they are in business for pedal junkies, it would appear, not to have a better selection of enclosures is odd, but what do I know.
I haven't but I think they encourage you to do do on their Facebook
I asked in an email if they could pick up some 125b enclosures but I didn't get a response. One of you facebookers could try asking for them there.

Careful with that one though. I think this is the one with the switching frequency in the audible range. It gives this really annoying high pitched whine. I think the SCPA is the one to get.

I think that only applies to IC7660s, I think MAX1044 all have the Frequency Boost feature.
If my memory serves me right, a big if indeed, the issue with the MAX is the 10v thing, vs. the TC1044 and you can go to 15v or is it 12v? Do I recall that right? I guess the 10v is not a problem IF you have a well regulated PS but......

Ahh yes that's right. Thanks Scruff. It is the ICL's that don't have the double frequency pin. Excellent deal then!

If my memory serves me right, a big if indeed, the issue with the MAX is the 10v thing, vs. the TC1044 and you can go to 15v or is it 12v? Do I recall that right? I guess the 10v is not a problem IF you have a well regulated PS but......
That sounds about right, although even though they say 10V Frequency Central was using them in his Murder One amps at 12V and they didn't die so... might get away with it.
Be nice if they had the LT1054 too though.
That is sort of what got me to thinking about making some suggestions to Tayda. I grabbbed some LT1054's today from Mouser.

that is awesome. $0.16, awesome
Am I missing something here? How is it that Tayda is SOOOOO much cheaper than other places??

I've wondered that myself.

I think it has to do with them being based in the general area where the products are made. Or at least a lot closer than we are. So there is one less step in the supply chain. That and labor and other operating costs are low as compared to the West.
12% Discount code from Tayda's facebook page = 128969 . no min spend and no need for dhl shppng
Almost all small components we use cost between 0.01 and 0.03$ in industrial quantities so other companies are making huge profits. If you trade with the manufacturer you can even get some 1590bb for 2.80$ but you need to order hundreds of them...
When you order something stocked stateside, it's being packed by hands that cost a lot more. That's the biggest part of the cost. That and warehousing. Property costs a lot in parts of Asia, but the labor is still the expensive part. People like Smallbear also source NOS parts and do massively useful things like match and test transistors for you.
I find that Tayda is really only good for basics, though. You still can't get NOS parts from them or tested transistors, matched FETs, or anything else that you want to go to a trusted source for. And they don't carry everything. Their selection of pots is limited to 16mm. Not good for those of us who like to build small.
I order as much as I can from them. You just can't beat those prices. One thing I noticed about their enclosures, is that they are air tight. You have to actually try to get the back on. For my optical stuf :).
