Step 2

: Flip the PCB over so that the bottom or solder side is up. Insert the 

three potentiometers, the two toggle switches, and the LED into the bottom 
side of the PCB.  

DO NOT SOLDER ANYTHING YET!!!

  The LED will 

have one lead that is longer than the other.  

THIS WILL GO INTO THE 

SQUARE SOLDER HOLE.  

Don’t forget to remove the nuts and washers 

from the pots and also to snap off the tabs before you do this step.
