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. The resistor highlighted in yellow is 422k. - Page 8 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. If your diodes have one gray stripe and one white stripe, place the gray stripe in the square hole.
- Page 9 Step 3: Add the ICs. Orient them so that the notch or ‘U-shaped’ indentation on the IC matches the notch on the screenprint. If your ICs don’t have a notch, they will have a dot. This will indicate pin 1 and goes in the square hole.
- Page 10 Step 4: Add the film and ceramic disc capacitors. These are non-polarized and can go in either direction. The ceramic disc capacitors are highlighted in yellow. Depending on the height of your ceramic disc capacitors, you may need to lay them on their side.
- Page 11 Step 5: Add the electrolytic capacitors. These are polarized meaning they have a positive and negative side. The positive side will have a longer lead and goes in the square hole. The negative side will have a stripe running along the length of the capacitor body. Lay the 47uF electrolytic on its side along the screenprint.
- Page 12 This is what your main board will look like at this point.
- Page 13 Back of main board. Notice the short trim of the leads, and no shorts between any of the eyelets.
- Page 14 Step 6: Add the Capacitor, resistor, and dual gang potentiometer to the Li’l Pony Secondary Board and solder them. The capacitor and resistor are not polarized and can be installed in any orientation. The potentiometer will have to be installed in a specific way as outlined on the board itself. Make sure the shaft of the potentiometer is facing along the arrow on the board.

Page 15: Enclosure Assembly
Enclosure Hardware Assembly Step 1: Mount the DC adapter jack. Note: Install the AC jack with the tabs vertical as shown in the images. The orientation is important so that the tabs don’t contact the potentiometers. - Page 16 Step 2: Mount the potentiometers. You will mount the top pots with the solder lugs facing away from the DC Jack. Cut (6) 3 inch pieces of wire and solder them to the potentiometer board. Mount the lower pot and PCB assembly with the board facing the DC jack as shown below.
- Page 17 Step 3: Mount the Audio Jacks. You want to orient them so that the SLEEVE terminals (beveled corner of the jack) are facing away from each other. If looking at the inside of the enclosure, the INPUT jack will have its sleeve terminal facing towards the AC jack.
- Page 18 Step 4: Remove both nuts from the footswitch and mount 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.

Page 20: Wiring
Wiring Important note: The longer tab will be your (+) connection. - Page 21 FLIP PCB OVER!!! STEP 1: Wire the PCB as shown in the diagram below. Make all connections to the back side of the PCB and solder on the top (screen printed) side of the PCB. Make the wires as short as possible but allow enough length so that if you need to do any trouble shooting later, you will be able to do so without having to remove all the enclosure mounted components.
- Page 22 Step 2: Once the AC jack, potentiometer, and IN/OUT jacks are wired, insert the LED in its hole. Insert the long lead into the square hole!!! might want to slightly bend the leads away from each other to keep them in the holes for now.
- Page 23 Step 5: Once you have your PCB positioned and soldered, guide the LED into its enclosure hole using the leads that are sticking up through the PCB. Once the LED is in position, solder and trim the excess leads.
