- Page 3 SOLDERING: QUICK AND DIRTY Before we start, I want to say that there are plenty of fine videos on YouTube that can cover this in great detail. However, in the interest of space, I will keep it quick. 1. Whatever solder type you are using will dictate the temp at which you should run your iron. If you’re using leaded (standard) solder, you can keep it between 600 and 650 degrees.

- Page 5 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Generally speaking, when I’m assembling a board, I install components by height, so that when I flip the board over to solder the components, the board is relatively flat on my workspace, and then I don’t have to use a third hand/PCB vise. In many cases, this means that resistors and diodes are first, any ICs/chips are second, non-electrolytic capacitors are third, transistors are fourth, elec- trolytic capacitors are fifth, and potentiometers/hardware are last.

The orientation of the non-electrolytic capacitors on the board does not matter. Capacitors are technically measured in Farads, but we work with very small values, typically in picofarads (p, pF), nanofarads (n, nF) and microfarads (u, uF).
- Page 7 ISSUE: LOUD, SOUNDS “OFF”, NOT MUCH FUZZ Potential problems: Transistors backwards, wrong parts in pads, 1N4148 diodes not inserted correctly. Solutions: Verify the placement of each part and ensure they match the board footprint. Other issues? Email us! help@catalinbread.com...
