  • Page 6: Populating The Circuit Board

    Populating the Circuit Board Step 1: Add the resistors. Resistors are not polarized, so it does not matter which end goes in which solder pad.
  • Page 7 Step 2: Add the diodes. Be sure to match the stripe on the end of the diode with the stripe on the PCB screenprint. The stripped end should go in the square solder pad.
  • Page 8 Step 3: Add the IC Sockets. DO NOT SOLDER THE ACTUAL CHIPS!!!! You will put the chips into the sockets in the "Installing the ICs" portion of the instructions. See page 22 - 23 for more details. Each socket has a notch in one end. You should match that notch up with the layout on the PCB and solder the socket directly to the PCB.
  • Page 9 Step 4: Add the film and ceramic disc capacitors. These are not polarized and can go in any orientation. The caps highlighted in yellow are the ceramic disc capacitors.
  • Page 10 Step 5: Add the transistors. Be sure to match the flat side of the transistors with the flat side on the PCB screenprint. The transistor highlighted in yellow is a 2N5088 or 2N5089.
  • Page 11 Step 6: Add the internal trimpots. These confuse many people because the trimpot itself only has 3 legs, but the PCB has 5 holes. The PCB has 5 holes so that it can accomodate a variety of different trimpot brands and models. There should only be one way the trimpot will fit into the PCB without having to bend the legs.
  • Page 12 Step 7: Add the aluminum electrolytic capacitors. These are polarized. The positive end will have a longer lead and should go in the square solder pad. The negative end will have a shorter lead with a black strip running down the body of the capacitor.
  • Page 13 Step 8: Add the battery snap. Thread the wire into the holes first, then into the eyelets.

  • Page 14: Assembly

    Main PCB Assembly Step 1: Flip the PCB over so that the bottom or solder side is up. Insert the three potentiometers and the LED into the bottom side of the PCB. DO NOT SOLDER anything yet!!! The LED will have one longer lead. The longer lead goes in the square solder pad. There will be two B50k potentiometers and one B1M potentiometer.
  • Page 15 Step 2: Hold the PCB in one hand so that the component side of the PCB is in the palm of your hand and the bottom side with the pots and LED is facing up. Now use your other hand to guide the predrilled enclosure onto the PCB assembly so that the pots and LED all go into their respective holes.
  • Page 16 Step 5: Install the DC Jack into the enclosure. Orient it as shown below.
  • Page 17 Step 6: Install the footswitch and IN/OUT jacks.
  • Page 18 Step 6a: Prepare the Footswitch. Orient the footswitch so that the flat sides of the solder lugs are like the diagram below. NOTE: There are no actual number markings on the footswitch. There are two correct ways you can orient the footswitch. They are both 180 degrees of each other. Either way is fine.
  • Page 19 FOOT SWITCH SOLDER LUG DESIGNATIONS...
  • Page 20 Step 6b: Make a jumper between lugs 3 & 6 from clippings from the resistors. Simply use your needle nose pliers to make a U shape & insert into lugs 3 & 6, then solder.
  • Page 21 Step 3b: Cut a 3” piece of wire. Strip 1/8” of one end. Strip 1/2” off the other end. Tin both ends. This will be used to connect lug 4 of the footswitch to the input TIP lug on the INPUT jack. The longer stripped end will be used to jumper lug 4 to 9.

  • Page 22: Wiring

    Wiring Step 1: Connect the TIP (negative) terminal of the DC adaptor jack to the "-" eyelet on the PCB with 2 inches of hook up wire. Connect the SLEEVE of the DC adaptor jack to the"+" eyelet on the PCB with 2 inches of hook up wire. Connect the BATTERY of the DC adaptor jack to the “(+)”...

  • Page 23: Installing The Ics

    Installing the ICs If your IC has both a notch and dot, always refer to the notch and Line up the notch on ignore the dot the IC with the notch on the socket. If your IC doesn’t have a notch on one end, it should have a dot in one corner.
  • Page 24 The BBD chips will be slightly different. They will only have 8 pins, but in a 14 pin space. The 6 center pins (3 on each side) of the socket are not used. You may see traces on the PCB, but they are simply being used as vias. So don't let this confuse you.

  • Page 25: Setting Up The Internal Trimpots

    Setting up The Internal Trimpots Step 1: Set all of the trimpots to noon. Set the DELAY, LEVEL, and REPEATS knobs to noon. Plug into an amp and guitar and power the pedal with either battery or 9V adapter. Step 2: Adjust the BIAS trimpot. Use your ear. Set it for the cleanest and loudest echoes. This will most likely be at noon in the rotation or just slightly off.
  • Page 26 Step 3: Adjust the CLOCK trimpot. Start by turning the delay time knob all the way up to the longest delay time (full turn counter clockwise). Adjust the CLOCK trimpot till echoes are approximately 300ms apart. Use a metronome if possible.
  • Page 27 Step 4: Adjust the REPEAT LIMIT trimpot. The setting of this trimpot is up to you. This sets the maximum number of repeats. You can set it for just a few repeats or infinite repeats. Keep in mind that shorter delay times will repeat longer, so you should probably set the DELAY knob on the outside to a very short delay time when adjusting this internal trimpot.
  • Page 28 Step 5: Adjust the CANCEL trimpot. Start by turning the outside DELAY knob to the longest delay time (full turn counter clockwise). Turn the LEVEL knob full turn clockwise. Turn the REPEATS knob up clockwise for the most echoes without going into self-oscillation (infinite repeat).
  • Page 29 Operating Overview DELAY: Sets the delay time. Counter Clockwise is longer delay time. LEVEL: Controls the dry to delay ratio. Repeats: Controls the amount of repeats in the delay.
