Off board wiring

time measuring and testing before you start fitting everything in the box.
Wiring the pots
P1
-
P6
is very simple. The rectangle pad marks pin 1 of a potentiometer. The images
below show how you can recognize which pin is which on a potentiometer. (PS
P3
is wired in reverse,
so, for
P3
only, connect pin 3 to the square pad instead of pin 1)
You can break off the pin I marked with the yellow circle with a small pair of
pliers.
P1
is a A500k for Tim™ and a A1M for the
Timmy™.
If you want to incorporate the effects loop of the
Tim then look for the correct wiring in the next chapter before wiring
P6
.
After wiring the
potentiometers you will need to wire the footswitches. For both Tim™ as Timmy™
you will need to wire the following :
