I have a few builds lined up for which I'd like to use some "mojo" parts, just for funsies - notably, a few fuzzes and wahs - but I'm a bit stumped about where to pick up carbon comp resistors. Mouser?

You can get some at Tube Depot

http://www.tubedepot.com/resistors.html

I don't know if that is the best for prices but that's where I got some before, quick and good service too

You can get them from Mouser still. Here's an example of 10K 1/4-watt 5%:

Newark sells them as well, as do a lot of the other middle-tier resellers.

Excellent, thanks guys! Tube Depot has a better price, but they don't seem to carry 1/4W. I'm doing the layouts myself, so size isn't really an issue - any reason not to go for the 1/2w?
