Please refer to DRAWING 6.
Connect the 1N4741A zener diode from the top hole of #8 to the
top hole of #7 with the black band(cathode) connected at #7.
Connect the BS170 to the top holes of
#6, #7, and #8. Note the orientation. The
mosfet’s body should pointed towards the
top of the enclosure with the labeled, flat
face pointed up.
Solder the connections
at #6, #7, and #8 now.
Locate the battery clip. Connect the red wire to the positive-switch lug of the DC power jack.
Connect the black wire to the ring lug of the input jack.
Solder both connections now.
Strip and tin a 2 ½” piece of wire and connect the positive lug of the
DC jack to the top hole of #5 on the terminal strip.
Solder the
connection at the positive lug of the DC jack now.
Strip and tin a 2” piece of wire and connect the lug 2 of the footswitch
to the tip lug of the input jack.
Solder both connections now.

Strip and tin a 2” piece of wire and connect the lug 8 of the footswitch
to the tip lug of the output jack.
Solder both connections now.
Strip and tin a 2” piece of wire and connect the lug 5 of the footswitch
to the sleeve lug of the output jack.
Solder both connections now.
Strip and tin a 1 ½” piece of wire and connect the top hole of #5 to the
A

Solder both connections now.
Connect the 390Ω resistor from lug 4 of the footswitch to the C
pin of the footswitch LED. Make sure the resistor’s leads are not
shorted to the A

pin or any other switch lugs.
Solder both
connections now.

Caution: MOSFETs can easily be damaged
by static electricity. Handle with care.
SECTION 6
Attach the knobs provided to the potentiometer shafts. Install a 9 volt battery, close the cover using
the screws provided. The battery is not required when using 9v DC power supply. Be sure to use an
isolated or stand alone power supply and remove any other daisy-chained pedals when first testing
if using a DC supply. The pedal can be daisy-chained once it is confirmed to be working correctly.
Plug a guitar into input jack on right. Plug a cable into output jack and plug it into your amplifier. The
stomp switch will engage the effect showing a lit LED when on.
-Unplug from the input jack of the unit to turn it off and save power when using a battery.
It’s always a good idea to thoroughly double-check your connections before applying power.
