Title: can I sub a 1/2 watt resistor, for a standard 1/4 watt?
Post by: dont-tase-me-bro on February 28, 2015, 10:38:53 PM
Had to go to a local store to get a 510 ohm resistor, and they only had 1/2 watt.  (my mouser order had 510K due to sloppiness on my part).  This is for standard use in the Duplex Drive, no unusual power requirements.

Thanks,
Pat

Yeah you can always use higher wattage resistors, space permitting.

In a pedal no problem using even 1/8w resistors.
