Step 2Buy the components

Buy the components
Besides the condensers listed in the previous step, I used the following components. You may want to buy a little more than the quantities I list here just in case you damage some while working.

Condensers:
17 x 4.7u
2 x 10u
14 x 150n
14 x 0.1u

Variable resistors:
16 x 50K
1 ganged 50K

Small calibration pots:
14 x 50K
14 x 1K

Jacks:
27 mono phone jacks (because each channel is patchable)
1 stereo phone jack

Cable:
3 meters of 10 wire ribbon cable
30 male 10 wire ribbon cable connector
30 female 10 wire ribbon cable connector

A bunch of wire to make all the connections (I destroyed an Ethernet cable to get this copper cable, its great because it is color coded and all).

Resistors:
28 x 1.2K
28 x 2K
2 x 1K
123 x 10K
28 x 20K
56 x 33K
28 x 120K
28 x 100K
42 x 200K
28 x 220

Transistors:
42 NPN transistors (2n2222 or similar)

Op Amps:
30 TL074

LEDs:
15 RGB

Diodes: 42 signal diodes

Why are only 27 mono jacks needed. (I was assuming two jacks per channel for R and L)

You don't have to put all these jacks, and just joint all Filter's Input with all Input Stage's output.

how much wattage do the resistors need to be able to handle? (i.e. do i buy 1/6 watt 1/2 watt....)
