Please note that each terminal has been numbered as illustrated here and will be referred
to as a “
terminal #_
” when connecting different components and wires throughout the
assembly instructions.
Strip and tin a 2" piece of wire and connect footswitch lug 8 to the
output jack's tip lug.
Strip and tin a 1 ½" piece of wire and connect footswitch lugs 3 and 9.
Strip and tin a 2" piece of wire and connect footswitch lug 2 to the input
jack's tip lug.
Strip and tin a 4 ½" piece of wire and connect footswitch lug 7 to 250K “volume” pot lug 2.
Strip and tin a 5 ½" piece of wire and connect footswitch lug 5 to the anode (+) lead of the LED.

Strip and tin a 1 ¾" piece of wire and connect footswitch lug 1 and terminal #2.
Connect the cathode (-) lead of the LED to terminal #18.
Tip: Form a hook in both the LED's lead and the wire-end. Hook them to each other and press the hooks closed
together. Apply solder after the LED lead and wire-end are tightly hooked to each other.
Suggestion:
3 wires/components will be connected to these terminals. Consider connecting to the lower terminal holes.
Strip and tin a 2 ½" piece of wire and connect terminal #6 to #15.
Strip and tin a 2 ½" piece of wire and connect terminal
#3 and 1K “fuzz” pot lug 1.
Strip and tin a 1" piece of wire and connect terminal
#15 to the power jack's "positive" lug.

POSITIVE LUG
Strip and tin a 1 ½" piece of wire and connect terminal #5 to #7.
Suggestion:
4 wires/components will be connected to terminal #5 and #11 in the next step. Consider connecting to the lower terminal holes.
Strip and tin a 1 ½" piece of wire and connect terminal #11 to #13.
Strip and tin a 1 ½" piece of wire and connect terminal #16 and 1K pot lug 3.
Strip and tin a 1" piece of wire and connect terminal #9 and 250K pot lug 3.
Strip and tin a 1 ½" piece of wire and connect terminal #17 and 100K “tone” pot lug 1.
Strip about ¾" of insulation off one end of the remaining wire. Twist and tin this end. When cool, cut off
this piece of wire. Connect one end to the power jack's center-pin lug and the other end to terminal #1.
Unless noted otherwise, “connect” means to trim the component’s leads to a reasonable length, wrap them tightly
around their connection points and solder. (See “Soldering Tips” on page 6).
SECTION 3 – Mount Components to Terminal Strips
Please refer to DRAWING 4.
Connect and solder all the following components to their respective terminals as listed.
(Make sure
that none of the component leads are so close together that it could cause an unintended short).
Tip:
You may need to bend terminal #18 down toward the
cathode lead or add a short wire to make this connection.
Tip:
Leave room at lug 3 for a
capacitor lead connected later.
Strip and tin a 1" piece of wire and connect terminal #19 to 250K pot lug 1.
