Page 7: 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 8 Add the 1n4001 diode. Be sure to match the end of the diode with the Step 2: stripe to the layout on the PCB. The striped end should go in the square solder pad.
- Page 9 Add the 8 pin IC sockets. ONLY SOLDER THE SOCKETS! Step 3: NOT THE ACTUAL IC! This is a socket. The sockets get soldered to the PCB. The ICs get inserted into the sockets. The actual IC chip itself, never gets soldered.
- Page 10 Step 4: Add the film capacitors. These are non-polarized so it can go in either direction.
- Page 11 Step 5: Add the voltage regulator. Insert it into the PCB so that the flat side of the component matches up with the flat side of the PCB layout.
- Page 12 Step 6: 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 13 Step 7: Add the battery snap. Thread the solder ends of the battery snap into the strain relief holes from the bottom solder side of the PCB and out through the top. Insert the solder ends of the battery snap wires into the topside of their respective solder pads. Solder on the bottom side of the PCB.
- Page 14 Step 8: Add wires to the IN, OUT, RING, and two Ground eyelets. Start by cutting four 2.5” pieces of wire, and one 1.5” piece. Strip 1/4” off each end and tin the ends. Tinning means to apply some solder to the stripped ends of the wires. This keeps the strands from fraying and primes the wire for soldering.
- Page 15 STEP 9 Add the Reverb Module to the underside of the PCB. BUT FIRST!!!! Take a break. Once you've soldered the reverb module in place, you will have locked many of the components that are on the other side of the PCB in. And to get to them, you'll need to desolder and remove the Reverb Module.
- Page 16 Once you've done this, install and solder the Reverb Module to the underside of the PCB. There is only one way the Module will fit in the PCB if you are inserting it into the underside. Solder the 10 pins on the topside of the PCB.

Page 17: Main Pcb 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 18 Step 2: Flip the PCB over so that the bottom or solder side is up. Insert the B50k potentiometer (Reverb), B10k dual gang potentiometer (Dwell), 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 19 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 and LED all go into their respective holes.
- Page 20 Step 4: Turn the entire pedal over so that the component side of the PCB is facing up. Lift the PCB up off the pots about 2mm just to make sure that the back of the PCB does not short out against the pots. Make sure the PCB is level and symmetrically seated inside the enclosure.

Page 22: Wiring
Wiring Stereo (input) Jack Mono (output) Jack Step 1: Install the 1/4” jacks to the enclosure. - Page 23 Your kit might come with enclosed jacks instead.
- Page 24 Step 2: 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 25 FOOT SWITCH SOLDER LUG DESIGNATIONS Step 3: Wiring the foot switch. 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 &...
- Page 26 Cut two 1” pieces of wire. Strip 1/8” off each end and tin. These will • be used to connect lugs/eyelets 1 & 7 Cut three 1.25” pieces of wire. Strip 1/8” off each end and tin. This • will be used to connect lugs/eyelets 2, 5, & 8 Step 4: Install the foot switch into the enclosure if it isn’t already.
- Page 27 Step 5: Connect the pre stripped and tinned wires to the 1/4” jacks.
