In the pictures below you see the correct pin numbering of the pots (Alpha 16mm style).
Solder the wires accordingly and it is always a good idea to twist the wires together to create extra
shielding against external noise.
You can break off the pin I marked with the yellow circle with a small pair of pliers.
Side Chaining
First off, let’s discuss why you
could/should use side chaining. By side chaining the effect you
introduce the original guitar signal back in the effect. This is especially handy when you are placing
the autowah after heavy distortion or fuzz. These type of effects will mess with the triggering of the
autowah. For this you will however need a signal splitter at the beginning of your signal chain. Here is
an example (and of course I also sell a good signal splitter if needed).

Side chain
As mentioned before, if you do not want the effect to be used with side chaining then short both pads
of
SW1
with a piece of lead wire (left over from eg. a resistor) else you can wire it as follows:
By using this switching jack, the effect will remain working normal when not using the side chaining.
NB. The sensitivity will need to be adjusted when using the sidechain!
