Wire it all up

The image below assumes you’re using an Octave Bypass footswitch. If not

just leave that out, having added the jumper shown earlier in this document.

You should also connect OV and OG to V and G on the Octave daughterboard, we just

left them out of the image as it would get messy. The wiring shown will light up the

LED when Octave is engaged.

IN

OUT

Please refer to the separate daughterboard document for further info regarding the

current limiting resistors and LEDs. The DC socket can connect to any of the three

daughterboards.
See next page for more info if you’re building a 1590BB, two switch version.
