    So I've been wanting to upgrade the pots on my DIY pedals with some hall effect sensors for a while. After looking around and seeing the prices the commercial hall effect encoders go for (more than $50 each when converted from my local currency) I decided that I would go the DIY route.

    Here's the finished product first:

    *** I meant to say threaded guitar tuner bushing, it isn't really necessary but it gave me a nice way to panel mount it.

    What is the GRADE of 8mm x 2mm neodymium magnets (N35, N42 or N50)?

    It's kinda a pretty big housing for this sensors. Generally for only one specific mount layout.
