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.
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.
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.
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”...
Connect the 6.8K resistor to terminals #4 and #22. (Make sure to leave room at both terminals for mounting other components). Connect the 78L05 to terminals #17, #20 and #22: 78L05 “Out” lead connects to #17 “Gnd” lead connects to #20 “In”...
Unplug from the input jack of the unit to turn it off and save power. Warning: The Verb Deluxe does not hold back on reverberation potential. At maximum dwell and mix settings you may be overtaken by a virtual tidal wave of sonic reflections.
