  • Page 7: Populating The Circuit Board

    Populating the Circuit Board Step 1: Add all the resistors. Resistors are not polarized and can be inserted into the PCB in either direction, meaning you don’t have to worry about orienting them.
  • Page 8 Your kit will come with mostly 1/8 watt resistors. If you receive ¼ watt resistors, simply bend them so the body is vertical on the PCB. Below is an example...
  • Page 9 Step 2: Add the header sockets.
  • Page 10 Add the diodes. Be sure to match the end of the diode with the stripe Step 3: to the layout on the PCB. The striped end should go in the square solder pad. The diode highlighted in red is the black body 1N4001. The diodes highlighted in purple are the 1n5817 diodes.
  • Page 11 Step 4: Add the IC sockets. Be sure to align the notch on the IC sockets with the notch on the PCB screenprint.
  • Page 12 Step 6: Add the relays. Be sure to orient them correctly. The relay will have a line on one end of the body indicating the side where pin 1 and pin 8 are. Place the relays so the stripe side is on the notch on the PCB screenprint.
  • Page 13 Step 7: Add the two clipping LEDs. Be sure to orient them according to the PCB. The longer lead will go into the square hole. Insert these on the underside of the PCB.
  • Page 14 Step 8: Add the transistors. Be sure to match the flat side of the transistor with the flat side of the transistor on PCB layout. Red outline is 2N3904, blue outline is 78L05, and the yellow outline is for the BS170s. Insert the 2n3904 highlighted in green on the underside of the PCB, also remember to make it so the rounded edge is facing towards the clipping LEDs like the highlighted outline.
  • Page 15 Step 9: Add the film and ceramic disc capacitors. These are non-polarized so they can go in either direction. The ceramic disc capacitors are highlighted in yellow, and are also non-polarized. Insert the capacitors highlighted in green on the underside of the PCB.
  • Page 16 Step 10: Add the aluminum electrolytic capacitors. These ARE polarized, meaning there is a positive and negative end. The positive side will have a longer lead and goes in the square solder pad. The negative side will have a shorter lead and a stripe running along the body of the cap, and goes in the round solder pad.

  • Page 17: Main Pcb Assembly

    Main PCB Assembly Step 1: Prepare the footswitches. Cut four 3 inch pieces of wire and solder them to the footswitches as shown.
  • Page 18 Step 2: Install the footswitches in the enclosure. Orient the footswitches so the solder lugs are facing each other...
  • Page 19 Step 3: Flip the PCB over so that the bottom or solder side is up. Insert the potentiometers, toggle switches, and the LEDs into the bottom side of the PCB. If your pots have covers, remove them before continuing. You might have to cut a slit in the cover with a blade and use a small screwdriver to get DO NOT SOLDER ANYTHING YET!!! leverage. The LEDs will have one lead that is longer than the other. THIS WILL GO INTO THE SQUARE SOLDER HOLE.
  • Page 20 Step 4: 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, toggle switch and LED is facing up. Now use your other hand to guide the predrilled enclosure onto the PCB assembly so that the pots, toggle switch and LED all go into their respective holes.
  • Page 21 You will want to place the jacks into the enclosure so the sleeve terminal is facing the right like the picture above. Be sure to remember the lock washers so the jacks don’t spin on their own.

  • Page 22: Wiring

    WIRING Step 6: attach the footswitches to the “SW1” and “SW2” spots as shown below...
  • Page 23 Step 7: Connect the TIP (negative) terminal of the DC adapter jack to the eyelet on the PCB labeled “-“. Connect the SLEEVE of the DC adapter jack to the eyelet on the PCB labeled “+” farthest to the right. Also connect the enclosed audio jacks to the PCB.

  • Page 25: Operation Overview

    Operating Overview BOOST: Level: Controls the overall boost output. First/Last Switch: changes the order of the effect. First means that the boost is first in the circuit, last means that the boost follows the overdrive circuit. OVERDRIVE: M. Freq: controls the frequency of the middle band. Pres.: Controls the presence Drive: Controls the amount of distortion.
  • Page 26 SWITCHES: 18V-9V: Toggles between 9v and 18v operation. MID Q: Controls the width of the middle band. Left is ‘normal’, middle is narrow, right is wide. SOFT: Toggles between the soft clipping options. Left is LED clipping, middle is NONE, right is Silicon diode clipping. HARD: Toggles between the hard clipping options.
