Title: 1/2 watt resistors
Post by: jimilee on November 18, 2013, 05:36:50 PM
So if you're at all like me, sometimes you don't pay attention and order 1/2 watt resistors. Well my collection seems to be growing. What can I do with these big ol resistors?

You could make a layout on vero with 'teh mojo tonez' from the 1/2w resistors!

Make a boost or an overdrive, and post it over at TGP stating how these resistors give increased headroom.

If the board isn't tightly packed, you can just use them as standing resistors.

Most of the resistors in the preamp of a tube amp are 1/2-watt.

depending on values, I'll take them off your hands.

Also, the companion fuzz is designed to accept 1/2 watts.

I guess you'll just have to build a tube amp.  With a built in phaser.

They don't go in the power section, though. Some resistors are flame-proof metal oxide, for preference, there.
