<br>
Parts are so cheap today that I’d recommend replacing the 8.2 kΩ resistors with 2.05 kΩ resistors. You have to buy 1% resistors, probably metal film, to get that value, but they’re only $0.10 in single quantity, so shipping will be more than that anyway.<br>
<br>
The reason I say this is that the 2.2 kΩ suggestion on that web page could be as much as 13% too high, resulting in a longer delay than original. Assuming the factory resistors are 5%, the 2.2 kΩ resistors could change the tone of the chorus.<br>
<br>
It’s cheap enough to literally divide the original resistor values by 4 and just spend a few pennies more to keep the delay times as close to original as possible.<br>
<br>
I didn’t see resistor values for anything besides the Juno 106, so I didn’t look into it any further.<br>
