The power and signal pads on the PCB conform

to the FuzzDog Direct Connection format, so

can be paired with the appropriate

daughterboard for quick and easy offboard

wiring. Check the separate daughterboard

document for details.
Be very careful when soldering the diode, LED

and transistors. They’re very sensitive to heat.

You should use some kind of heat sink

(crocodile clip or reverse action tweezers) on

each leg as you solder them. Keep exposure to

heat to a minimum (under 2 seconds). 
It’s best to use a socket for the IC unless you’re

confident you can avoid frying it.
Positive (anode) legs of the electrolytic caps go

to the square pads.
Negative (cathode) legs of the diodes go to the

square pads.
Snap the small metal tag off the pots so they

can be mounted flush in the box.

Solder the pots last, as once they’re in place

you’ll have no access to the pads beneath

them.The best way to get the pots lined up is

to first solder one pin of each.
Once they’re tacked in place adjust them so

they’re straight and check to see if the heights

line up. If not, melt that soldered joint and

adjust. Once you’re happy all the pots are

aligned you can solder in the other legs.

RANGE

There’s no correct settting. Simply adjust it until

it sounds good for you. 

GAIN

If you aren’t using a GAIN trimmer place a

jumper as shown in red above.
