SECTION 1 – Mount The Hardware 

Please refer to DRAWING 1 and DRAWING 2.

Mount input jack in the 3/8" hole on left side of box with hardware 
provided.  Washer goes under nut on outside of box.  Make sure 
center solder lug of input jack is facing up.  Correct positioning of 
jack will make soldering connections much easier.  When 
positioned correctly, tighten nut.

Mount output jack in 3/8" hole on right side of box with hardware 
provided.  Washer goes under nut on outside of box.  Make sure two 
solder lugs are in most upright position before tightening nut.

Mount the A100K pot in the 3/8" hole on the top right side of the box.  
Make sure that all three lugs are facing down toward the bottom of the 
box. Fasten the nut and tighten.

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 so 
that the center-pin lug is facing the bottom side of the 
enclosure.

Mount the LED footswitch to the ¾” hole. Be sure to orient the 
LED leads towards the top.

You must remove the button cap with a hex key before mounting. 

Mount the 8 lug terminal strip to the 1/8" holes as shown in drawing 2 
using the 4-40 screws, nuts, and lock washers. Each lock washer goes 
under the nut inside the chassis. 

Be sure that no lugs are touching the sides of the box or other hardware 
added. We will refer to terminal numbers 1 through 8 as #1, #2, etc.

Orient the box with ¾” hole nearest you and the open side facing up.

Mount the C500K pot in the 3/8" hole on the top left side of the box.  
Make sure that all three lugs are facing down toward the bottom of 
the box. Fasten the nut and tighten.

Strip and tin a 3 ¾” piece of wire and connect the lug 1 on the C500K 
pot to the lower hole of #6 on the terminal strip. 

Solder the connection 

at lug 1 of the C500K pot now.
