Title: Vactrol at mouser.com?
Post by: frespe on May 13, 2015, 10:42:48 PM
Hey there guys!

As I'm from Argentina, bringing parts from the outside is really expensive so I prefer getting all of them from one distributor only.

I've already filled my cart at mouser.com but there's only one thing missing, the vactrol.

Are there any alternatives to the VTL5C3?

Thank you in advance!

They don't sell them. Try:

Allied electronics
Newark
Small Bear
Mammoth Electronics
ebay

Well I guess I'll have to pay double international shipping then =p

Thanks for your response!

There are definitely some european distributers. I don't know of any off the top of my head but maybe some one from across the pond can chime in...

Paul has the VTL5C3 in his shop: http://www.diyguitarpedals.com.au/shop/

He is in Australia, but international shipping is fast & cheap. Plus he has the best customer service :)

I think Cabezacuadrada in Chile has them too, maybe the shipping is cheaper... but they are marked as unavailable at this moment.

+1 for Paul

His shipping to the US was actually quick.

Banzai's shipping is worst in my experience.

I must say that they shipped some parts to my country a while ago and people in argentinian customs sent it back to where it came from twice.

I had to make banzaii send it to me to Uruguay, my neighbouring country, and everything went well!

You should definitely give them another chance!

Just bought some parts from then.

Took an age and they haven't shipped some parts.

They have got a lot worse since last time I used them.

My previous experience with banzaii was about two years ago and it went good.

For what you guys say I asume they got worst
