- Page 3 The power and signal pads on the PCB conform to the FuzzDog Direct Connection format, so can be paired with the appropriate daughterboard for quick and easy offboard wiring. Be very careful when soldering the diodes, LED and transistors. They’re very sensitive to heat. You should use some kind of heat sink (crocodile clip or reverse action tweezers) on each leg as you solder them.
- Page 4 When everything else is in place its time to mount the transformer. The header pins and transformer mount it on the same side of the board as the screenprint showing the transformer and the numbers 1-6. First place your header pins in the two rows of numbered pads. Make sure they’re perfectly vertical. You can place them into place on the main board while you’re soldering to ensure they remain straight.
- Page 5 RED PCB HACK If you’ve bought the B-Stock Red PCB you need to run a wire to a resistor to make it work. The leg of R29 marked in red below needs to be connected to 9V. There are several ways to do this. The neatest way is to leave a little of the leg remaining when you solder in R29 and R20 (marked in blue).
