Step 8:
Insert the foot switch wires into their respective eyelets on the PCB.
You can insert them into the top side and solder on the top side as well. The
solder pads should be large enough (if you are using a soldering iron that
isn’t too big) to allow you to do this without burning the PVC coating on the
wires if you are careful. If you do singe the plastic on the wires, it’s OK.
It’s not going to hurt anything. It’s purely aesthetic.
Wiring The Footswitch
Cut 10 pieces of wire, 1.5 inches long. Strip 1/8
in.
off each end. These will
be used to connect lugs/eyelets 1, 2, 5, 7, & 8 of both switches.
Cut 2 pieces of wire 2 inches long. Strip 1/8
in.
of one end. Strip
½
in.
off
the other end. This will be used to connect lug/eyelet 4. The longer stripped
end will be used to jumper lug 4 to 9.
Cut 5
pieces of wire 3
½
in. long. Strip
¼
in.
off each end. These will be
used to connect the tip and sleeve of the IN jack and the tip and sleeve of the
OUT jack to the PCB.
Step 9:
Connect the wires at the top end of the PCB to the IN and OUT
jacks. The “out” eyelet will go to the tip of the OUT jack and the “in” eyelet
will go to the tip of the IN jack. Connect the ground eyelet on the left to the
sleeve of the IN jack and the ground eyelet on the right to the sleeve of the
OUT jack. Connect the “ring” eyelet to the ring of the IN jack. See diagram
below for the complete wiring layout.
