Hi fellow!
Just a quick intro before starting,
Materials to have near you:
1. Soldering Iron - better with temperature control
2. Solder wire
3. A pair of tweezers
4. Multimeter
5. Cutter
6. Solder sucker / wick (optional)
7. Silicone soldering mat (optional)
8. Helping hands (optional)
9. Flux (optional)
If you want to refresh yourself a bit about soldering stuff you can watch
TABØR is made of two boards:
Brain Board with all the electrolytic capacitors, vactrol, ICs and reverse polarity protection
•
components
•
Control Board with all the potentiometers, jacks, LEDs and the 2 legs avalanche transistors
Following this guide, the boards are assembled by the height criteria: short components first, tall
components last.
At the end the two boards are connected thanks to their headers and the panel mounted.
Be careful to check the correct direction of the two boards while connecting them and before
powering up the module: on the brain board the power socket needs to be on top

- Page 2 Another tool that can help you finding the components on the boards are the interactive BOMs linked here: tinyurl.com/taborbom Download them and open the .html file with a browser. You can use them to check where a component is located on the board. They work also offline. now let’s begin!
- Page 3 brain board Open the brain bag. ceramic caps: Snap them in. Don’t mind their polarity. The capacitor code is written on its body. tip: since they are of the same height, you can wait and solder all the ceramic caps, diodes and resistors at the same time after you’ve placed all of them on this side of the board.
- Page 4 transistors: The “D” shape white symbol on the PCB needs to be aligned with the “D” shape of the transistor that needs to be soldered. Q1, Q5 2N3904 ICs: Place the sockets matching the drawings on the PCB, be careful of the notch direction. tip: flip the board, bend one of the socket legs and solder that leg.
- Page 5 vactrols: Match the short leg of the vactrol with the squared solder pad on the PCB. Check the pictures on the next page if you have any doubts. tip: it’s easier to bend at 90° degree all the four legs before trying to fit the vactrol in place. U1, U4, U5, U6, U8, U9, U10, U12, U13 VTL5C1 electrolytic capacitors:...
- Page 6 control board Open the control bag. resistors: They are placed in vertical position. The body of the resistor goes on top of the white circle marked on the PCB. tip: they don’t have a polarity; this precaution is due to avoid them touching while soldered in place.
- Page 7 surface components: Wait to solder them: just place all of them in the right place and move to the next step. 1F1, 2F1, 2M1, 1M1 50k (6.35mm round shaft) 4F1, GRUM1 10k (6.35mm round shaft) 12 J2, J3, J4, J5, J6, J7, J8, J9, J10, J11, J12, J13 PJ398SM now the other side female headers:...
- Page 8 How to check if the module is working properly? • Play a bit with the knobs until you are sure that all the 7 LEDs light up correctly Blue LEDs are on regardless of the RM input • All the three outputs are working (play with the knobs if the TR out is silent) •...
