Page 7: Populating The Circuit Board
Populating the Circuit Board Step 1: Add all the resistors. Resistors are not polarized, so they can face in either direction. - Page 8 Step 2: Add the diodes. The smaller 1N914 are highlighted in red. The larger 1N4001 is highlighted in yellow. Make sure the stripe on each diode matches with the stripe on the layout.
- Page 9 Step 3: Add the IC socket. Match up the u-shaped notch in the socket with the notch on the layout. If the op amp that is supplied with your kit does not have a notch in it, there will be a small dot in one corner. This denotes pin #1.
- Page 10 Step 4: Add the film and ceramic disc caps. These are not polarized and can go in either direction. The film caps are highlighted in red, the ceramic disc caps are highlighted in yellow.
- Page 11 Step 5: Add the electrolytic capacitors. These are polarized, meaning they have a positive and negative end. The positive end of the cap will have a longer lead and should go in the square solder pad.
- Page 12 Step 8: Add the battery snap. Thread the wires of the battery snap through the holes in the PCB before soldering as shown below.

Page 13: Assembly
Main PCB Assembly Step 1: Mount the AC 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 BEFORE CONTINUING, REMOVE THE DUST COVERS FROM THE POTENTIOMETERS. YOU MAY NEED TO MAKE A SLIT IN THE COVER TO RELIEVE ANY VACCUUM BETWEEN THE COVER AND THE POTENTIOMETER. Step 2: Flip the PCB over so that the bottom or solder side is up. Insert the four potentiometers, toggle switch and the LEDs into the bottom side of the PCB.
- 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, 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.

WIRING Step 6: 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 17 OPEN JACKS Stereo (input) Jack Mono (output) Jack Install the ¼” jacks into the enclosure.
- Page 18 Your kit will include either open jacks or enclosed jacks. The wiring for both is very similar, and will be shown below. Step 7: 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.
- Page 19 FOOT SWITCH SOLDER LUG DESIGNATIONS Step 8: Insert the foot switch wires into their respective eyelets on the PCB. You can insert them into the top side and solder on the top side as well. The solder pads should be large enough (if you are using a soldering iron that isn’t too big) to allow you to do this without burning the PVC coating on the wires if you are careful.

Installing IC/Finish up Don't forget to add the knobs, put the cover on the enclosure, and apply the bumpers to the cover. -
Page 23: Operating Overview
Operating Overview VOLUME: This controls the volume of the pedal. GAIN: This controls the amount of distortion. TREBLE: This boosts or cuts the treble. BASS: This boosts or cuts the bass. CONTOUR: Essentially a mid control. CCW is full mids. CW is scooped mids. -
