BOXING UP
Here’s how it’ll look when boxed up. Notice the two outer pots are turned
inwards 90°. This keeps them well clear of the jacks.
What about my LEDs?
Pre-drilled enclosures are supplied with 3mm holes for the LEDs, rather than
larger ones that require a mounting bezel. Why? Because you can hold the LED
securely in place with the PCB. When you come to box up your lovely new circuit,
get the pots in place first. Then the jacks. Now, slide your LEDs all the way into
the PCB (long leg to square pad) and bend the legs ever so slightly so they don’t
fall out. Alternatively put a little bluetac on there. Now locate your footswitches
into place and tighten.
When everything is secure, let
your LEDs slide down into the
holes - use some needle-nosed
pliers or skinny fingers to
position them fully in the holes.
Once in place, solder.
Those little lights aren’t
going anywhere!
