How to build an effects pedal for reverb.
This pedal produces sweet warm reverb using the Belton Digi-Log module. It operates on a 9V battery or
AC adapter (center negative), which are not included. When completed this pedal draws considerable
current and battery life will be short. The use of an AC adapter is highly recommended. This effect works
best when placed at the end of your effects chain.
Warning: This circuit was designed for use with a 9 VDC power supply only.

Page 5: Final Assembly Reference Drawing
FINAL ASSEMBLY REFERENCE DRAWING This is a large version of the final assembly drawing. Refer to this drawing as you make your way through each step of the instructions. Before you make a new connection at a particular terminal or solder lug, notice how many other connections will be made at that terminal. That way you can decide whether it’s best for you to solder the connection and leave space open for future connections or hold off on soldering until after every connection at that location has been made. -
Page 6: Soldering Tips
SOLDERING TIPS It is important to make a good solder joint at each connection point. A cold solder joint is a connection that may look connected but is actually disconnected or intermittently connected. (A cold solder joint can keep your project from working.) Follow these tips to make a good solder joint. -

SECTION 1 – Mount Large Components The Verb Deluxe enclosure has a high gloss finish. To avoid scratching the surface while assembling this kit, you may want to place a soft cloth, towel or similar item over your work surface. -
Page 8: Section 2 - Prepare Btdr Reverb Module
SECTION 2 – Prepare BTDR Reverb Module Pin 4 will not be used. Strip a 3/8" piece of insulation from the wire provided accutronics ® to use as an insulating sleeve for pin 4. Gently press this piece of insulation over pin 4 of the reverb module. -
Page 9: Section 4 - Mount Components To Terminal Strips
Strip and tin a 2 ½” piece of wire and connect to terminals #11 and #16. Connect via the lower terminal holes to leave more room for mounting the terminal strip components. Do not solder at terminal #16, yet. Strip and tin a 2" piece of wire and connect to 100KL pot lug 2 and terminal #5. Strip and tin a 2 ½”... -
