Take off the soldering iron but keep pressing. Avoid touching the pins themselves because they will become hot very quickly and move out of alignment within their plastic bracket. Once you are satisfied with you placement, solder the remaining pins. • www.shakmat.com 05/13... -

Flip the PCB and solder the three 22µF capacitors. You must pay attention to the orientation of these components. The long leg indicates the positive side, therefore it has to match the little dot on the PCB silkscreen. • www.shakmat.com 06/13... -
Page 8: Jack Connectors
If one of the jacks is not perfectly perpendicular with the PCB, you can reheat the pads and push it down with your thumb to re-align. • www.shakmat.com 07/13... -
Page 9: Tacticle Switches
It’s very important to solder the four push buttons flat with the PCB. If they are crooked or not thoroughly pushed through, the caps won’t pop properly through the front panel and the buttons will be hard to press. • www.shakmat.com 08/13... -

PCB. Mount the front panel and tighten the potentiometers nuts (this will ensure a proper placement of the pots) and then solder them. Once you have soldered everything, remove the nuts, the front panel and proceed to the next step. • www.shakmat.com 09/13... -
Page 11: Led Push Buttons
We recommand you the place the front panel back on and tighten the Length potentiometer nut before soldering the LED buttons.

Place all the LEDs through the PCB paying attention to the colors and orientations but don’t solder them now. • www.shakmat.com 11/13...
- Page 13 You’re almost done! The last thing to do is to tighten the knurled nuts on the jack sockets. Finally, push the four knobs onto their metal poten- tiometer and the two button caps on the Shift buttons. • www.shakmat.com 12/13...
