Because none of my friends care to hear me whine about this, I thought I'd vent for a bit to you guys. I ordered from Tayda for the first time last week. I'm building a Cerulean Overdrive to the Morning Glory specs, and I ordered all components and hardware from Tayda.
The positive: I've only ordered from Mammoth in the past, but found Tayda was significantly cheaper. I was able to get about 10 times the amount of components from Tayda for the same price I pay at Mammoth. I ordered lots of extra components and also some extra hardware and still only spent $25. My order arrived in just 6 days, a day earlier than they had projected at checkout. I was really happy with this.
The negative: THEY ONLY SENT ME TWO POTENTIOMETERS. I needed two 100k and a 25k pot, but the package was missing one of the 100k pots. They gave me a $2 credit to their site to compensate, but still...I was so excited to get the pedal going and now I can't. Life is just so hard I know it's not actually a big deal, but it still sucks that I had to order another pot for 60 cents and then pay $5 for shipping.
I ended up ordering the missing pot from Mammoth last night, as well as some extra cable for making my own patch cables.
Sob story over.
