In series you are right.

In series is the resistors lying horizontal and one resistors at the right hand side and the other at the left hand side

Parallel is one at the bottom at one higher. If the resisters lie horizontal.

hi. Does 2.2M equal 2,000,000plus200,000? Thanks

tolerances are for precision when needed that precision. Like for measure instruments. Or signal instruments.

the character letters of the rings on resisters to remind:

Greigoroth,

Thanks! If you ever have a suggestion, please make it. This is a good one!

For most purchases, the difference between 5% and 1% is actually the type of resistor. Metal film usually comes with a 1% tolerance and carbon film usually comes with a 5% tolerance. And the cases are different colours, blue for metal film and tan for carbon film.

I am no expert, but R.G. is and on Aron’s diystompboxes forum he said here that metal film has slightly lower noise but the difference is not usually audible in stompboxes. So that’s what I go by.

Cheers, Paul
