Hooking up the Jacks
This kit comes with mono jacks. They have two connections, a positive AKA the tip connection. And a
negative AKA the sleeve connection.
Using this picture as a reference the lug to the right with the red
arrow coming from it is the positive/tip wire.
The black arrow is therefore the negative/sleeve wire. This is
essentially a ground point.
Connect a long black wire to each sleeve lug.
Connect a further long wire to each tip lug. Do not use red. Use two individual colours, one for each
tip.
The wires need to be long enough to go from one end of your pedal to the other as they eventually
connect to the footswitch.
Once you have soldered two wires to each of your jacks, put them to one side.
When you eventually put them in place inside the enclosure, they will ground it, people often ask if
they need to ground the case with a wire. The answer to that is no.
Power Socket
The black wire is the ground
point.
The red wire is the 9V supply
The above is for centre negative power supplies. Should you have the opposite you must reverse the
connections.
At this stage, connect two long wires to the socket as shown and set it aside.
There is no need to put anything in the enclosure just yet.
