  • Page 6: Populating The Circuit Board

    Populating the Circuit Board Step 1: Add all the resistors. Resistors are not polarized and can be inserted in either direction.
  • Page 7 Step 2: Add the diodes. Be sure to match the end of the diodes with the stripe to the layout on the PCB. The striped end should go in the square solder pad.
  • Page 8 Step 2: Add the transistors. Orient them so that the tab on the transistors matches up with the tab on the PCB layout.
  • Page 9 Step 3: Add the film and ceramic disc capacitors. These are not polarized and can go in either orientation. The capacitors highlighted in yellow are the ceramic disc capacitors.
  • Page 10 Step 4: Add the aluminum electrolytic capacitor. 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 11 Step 5: Add the battery snap. Thread the leads into the strain relief holes first through the bottom side of the PCB. Then insert the leads into their respective solder pad hole on the top side of the PCB. The red lead goes in the + hole and the black lead goes in the –...
  • Page 12 Step 6: Add wires to the IN, OUT, LED, POS, and the Ground eyelet located in the top of the board. . Start by cutting 4 3.5” pieces of wire. Strip 1/4” off each end and tin the ends. Tinning means to apply some solder to the stripped ends of the wires.

  • Page 13: Main Pcb Assembly

    Main PCB Assembly Step 1: Mount the DC adapter jack to the enclosure. Your kit may come with either an external thread or internal thread. Don’t get confused by this. They still function exactly the same. You just thread the external nut on the outside and the internal nut on the inside.
  • Page 14 Step 2: Flip the PCB over so that the bottom or solder side is up. Insert the three potentiometers, the two toggle switches, and the LED into the bottom side of the PCB. DO NOT SOLDER ANYTHING YET!!! The LED will have one lead that is longer than the other.
  • Page 15 Step 3: 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 are 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 2: Install the 1/4” enclosed jacks to the enclosure.
  • Page 17 Step 3: Install 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.
  • Page 18 Step 3a: 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. Step 3b: Connect a wire to LUG 4 that also jumpers to LUG9. Strip about 1”...

  • Page 19: Wiring

    Wiring Step 1: 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. Connect the battery disconnect terminal of the DC adapter jack to the second eyelet on the PCB labeled “+”...
  • Page 20 Step 2: Wire the PCB to the foot switch and jacks as shown.

  • Page 21: Operation Overview

    Operating Overview Volume: Controls the overall output level. Tone: Controls the tone. Sustain: Controls the amount of distortion. Tone Toggle (right toggle switch): Selects between a mid flat, mid scoop, or mid hump EQ. Tone Bypass Toggle (left toggle switch): This either activates the tone bypass (on) which deactivates the tone knob and Tone Toggle switch, or deactivates it (off) and allows you to select your mids, and use the tone knob.
