  • Page 2 Hello and thank you for building the Solar Gravity Vactrol Response VCA DIY kit. We hope you will find its tones most pleasing! Bill of Materials: 1x Panel + SMT populated PCB 3x Through Hole LED (solder these first) 1x Through Hole Vactrol...
  • Page 3 That’s right! Before you get to work on the power header, trimmers, and other stuff you would usually do first when building a Eurorack module, you really should solder the three frontal LEDs. If you do not do this step first, you will have a rather inconvenient time soldering around the vactrol and trimpots later. We’ve done it this way and it is not fun.
  • Page 4 Step 2: Place and solder rear through hole components. 3. Flip the board over and insert the front panel hardware into the PCB (but don’t solder it yet!): one Alpha B10k potentiometer (be sure to clip the anti-rotation tab), two Song Huei “Tall Trimmer” style B100k pots, and four Thonkiconn jacks.
  • Page 5 4. Fit the Solar Gravity panel over all the hardware, making sure that nothing slips out of place. 5. While holding the PCB securely against the panel with hardware sandwiched in between, hand-tighten nuts around the Alpha pot and 4 Thonkiconn jacks.
  • Page 6 -Once the pot is not touching the panel, solder the second leg, double check and solder the pins -Repeat for other potentiometer Step 7 & 8: Fully soldered Solar Gravity. 8. Double check your work. Make sure that all hardware is properly soldered to the PCB, and that nothing on the board has been damaged while soldering.
