3) Locate the battery clip. Cut 1 ½” length off the ends of each
lead and discard (or save for other projects). Connect the black
lead to the “ring” lug of the input jack. Connect the red lead to
terminal #2 of the terminal strip. Solder these connections now.
SECTION 4 – Wire Remaining Connections
1) Strip and tin a 1 ½” piece of wire and connect footswitch lugs “3” and “9”.
2) Strip and tin a 1" piece of wire and connect the input jack “tip” lug to the footswitch lug “2”.
3) Strip and tin a 3 ½” piece of wire and connect footswitch lug “1” to distortion pot lug “1”.
4) Strip and tin a 1 ¾” piece of wire and connect the output jack “ground” lug to
output pot lug “3”.

5) Strip and tin a 1 ¼” piece of wire and connect the output jack “tip” lug to
footswitch lug “8”.
6) Strip and tin a 2 ½” piece of wire and connect the output pot lug “2” to footswitch lug “7”.
Finish it off by double-checking all of your connections, connect and insert a 9V battery, screw the lid on and
fasten the knobs to both pot shafts.

7) Strip and tin a 2 ½” piece of wire and connect the cathode lead of the LED to footswitch lug “4”.
Solder both of these connections now.
8) Strip and tin a 1 ½” piece of wire and connect the footswitch lug “5” to the ground lug of the input
jack. Solder these connections now.
SECTION 3 – Mount and Connect Remaining Components
1) Connect one of the 0.1
µ
F capacitors with one lead at terminal #5 of the terminal strip and the
other lead to output pot lug “1”.
2) Connect the other 0.1
µ
F capacitor to terminal #4 and to both lugs “2” and “3” of the distortion pot.
Solder all connections at terminals #3, #4 and distortion pot lugs “2” and “3” now.
Please refer to DRAWING 4.
9) Strip and tin a 1” piece of wire and connect the DPDT switch middle left lug to the output pot’s lug
“1”. Solder these connections now.
