Humming Bee V2.0 General guideline for components • Capacitors: All values under 1nF should be ceramic disks. From 1nF up to 1uF should be SMF/MKT/Wima (foil/metalfilm capacitors) and over 1uF use electrolyte caps (or tantalum) 16V+ rated and watch out for polarity! •...
Humming Bee V2.0 Besides the components mentioned in the table on the first page, you will need: • 2 input jacks. 2 mono jacks if you are not going to use a battery but only the 9V adapter. 1 mono (for output) and 1 stereo jack (for input) if you will be using both a 9V battery and the 9V adapter.
Humming Bee V2.0 Offboard wiring Anode (long leg) Cathode (short leg) R led Ring Ring Sleeve Output Jack Input Jack Footswitch Notice that in the “off” position the effect input is connected to ground to prevent possible oscillation. The diagram is also based on star wiring where all ground connections go to the sleeve of the input jack.
