SECTION 1 – Mount Large Components
Stripping wire, tinning wire and soldering.
Throughout these instructions you will be told to strip
and tin a length of wire numerous times. Unless noted otherwise, cut the wire to the length stated in
the instructions. Then strip ¼” of insulation off each end. Twist each end of the stranded wire, and
apply a small amount of solder to each end (i.e. tin the wire ends). This will prevent the stranded
wire from fraying and will make the final soldering much easier.
Please refer to DRAWING 1 and DRAWING 2.
Orient the enclosure with the two 5/16" holes and one 9/32" hole on top.
Using the five screws, nuts and lock washers provided, fasten the three terminal strips to match
DRAWING 2.
Fasten the 3 lug terminal strip first. Then
fasten the two 8 lug terminal strips.
Mount the 1KL pot in the 5/16" hole on the left and the 250KA pot in the other 5/16"
hole on the right. Mount the mini 100KA pot in the 9/32" hole at the top center.
Bend back and remove the alignment tab on the top of each potentiometer using a pair of pliers
before mounting the pots so that they can mount flush against the enclosure surface.

Mount the DC power jack in the 15/32" hole on the left side of the
enclosure. Orient its solder lugs similar to how they are shown in
Drawing 2.
Mount the input jack in the 3/8" hole on the left side of the enclosure with the hardware provided.
The washer goes under the nut on the outside of the enclosure. Make sure the center solder lug of
the input jack is facing up. Correct positioning of the jack makes soldering the connections easier.
Mount the output jack in the 3/8" hole on the right side of the enclosure. Make sure the two solder
lugs are in their most upright position before tightening the nut.
Mount the footswitch in the 15/32" hole in the center of the enclosure. The nylon
washer goes under the mounting nut on the outside of the enclosure. The lock
washer mounts on the inside between the enclosure surface and the other nut.
Make sure the footswitch is oriented to match DRAWING 2.

Please refer to DRAWING 3.

lower holes
Tip:
Some terminals will have three or more wire/component connections which can
make it difficult to find room for everything that needs to be connect to that terminal. In
this case, we will provide a warning and suggest connecting wires to the lower terminal
holes.
When connecting wires to lower terminal holes, just be sure that the exposed wire end is resting against the metal of the
terminal while adding solder. Hold the wire in place for a few seconds while the connection cools. After cooling, tug on
the wire slightly to ensure it is secured to the lower terminal hole.

Mount the LED and bezel holder in the ¼” hole. Align the LED leads so
its anode (positive lead) is closer to the right side of the enclosure as
shown in Drawing 2.
The Anode (+) side of the LED is
indicated by a slightly longer lead
and/or a positive sign.
