How to Build Pedal-Pi
This is a 4 steps guide to assembly Pedal-Pi. With all the materials on hand it takes around 2-3 hours to
build it successfully. Take your time, play your favourite music on the background and enjoy the fine art
of building electronics.
Step 0 – Prepare the Materials.
You need a soldering iron, lead and cutting pliers. Additionally cutter, scissors and pliers are convenient.
The PCB has solder mask and plated holes, so it is easy to solder with any 15-30W solder iron.
Keep in short hand the PCB plan and the Bill of Materials:

  • Page 2 STEP1 – Soldering Resistors. There are 14 resistors to be placed: These are the resistors to be soldered:  1MΩ resistors (2 units): R0, R1.  4.7KΩ resistors (6 units): R2, R3, R6, R9, R10, R15.  100KΩ resistors (2 units): R4, R11 ...
  • Page 3 STEP 2 – Soldering the Capacitors. There are 9 film/ceramic and 7 electrolytic caps. Start soldering first the smaller ceramic caps:  270pF capacitor (1 unit): C5.  6.8nF capacitors (5 units): C2, C4, C6, C7, C8.  100nF capacitors (3 units): C1, C10, C15.
  • Page 4 STEP 3 – Big Size Components. The last components to be placed are the dip sockets, resistor trimmer, led, jack, switches, etc: In this step it is important to solder the remaining parts from small to big, the optimum order is: ...
  • Page 5 (cathode) it is marked with a “K” on the PCB. The kit is supplied with a male and female connectors that connect Pedal-Pi to the PI ZERO board. The male (40 pins single row) needs to be cut in the middle to create 2x20pins.
  • Page 6 ☑ 3. The Op-Amp and ADC are placed right (not upside down) and not swapped with each other. If you need more help there is a topic in the forum called Guide to troubleshoot Pedal-Pi. Finally the plastic cover can be placed, it is kept in placed by the foot-switch nut &...
