Thank you Prostheta! Silly me

@Prostheta: How do you know that i'm Vietnamese? You can tell by my name? Yes, i can always buy some on Ebay, but the cost is ...well, not too high in general but it is, in fact, pretty high for me and for some DIY projects like this, not mention the troubles i'll get myself into at the custom (they have really strict policies and the duty is freakin' high). You see, that's why i have to think of other ways:( regards, Long.

Thank you so much Curtisa! Unfortunately, i can't find any of those subtitudes either (( I'll go with the combining option. So you think i should replace the lm741 by TL071 or TL081 and change the value of Rg? Sorry for asking again, i'm beginner. Did you build a DIY sustainer yourself? If yes, could you share some experience? Thank you, Long.

Hello, I'm planning on building a sustainer for my fat strat and i'm having a problem with the circuit. I found 2 circuits: one is the Fetzer/Ruby and the other is from this site: http://strib.fr/?p=46 (scroll down a bit and you'll see the preamp and the power amp) But it's impossible to find these components in my country: -the transistor in the pre-amp of the Fetzer/Ruby. -the TBA820M in the power amp of the other circuit. So do you think if i could combine the Bob Blick pre-amp and the Ruby power amp together? If yes, do i need to add or change something in the circuit? Or can anyone recommend a whole new circuit? I know there's a huge topic about DIY sustainer but i don't think there was anyone having the same problem as mine so it would be really great if you could help me! Thank you,
