Step 4 – Mount the footswitch jack
Mount  the  footswitch  jack  in  the  one  remaining  rear  panel  hole  as  shown  in 
Drawing 4. This is the ¼” jack with only two solder lugs (tip & sleeve).

Step 2 – Mount the power switch
After  removing  the  screws  from  its  terminals, 
mount the power switch in the 15/32" chassis hole 
on the front panel as shown in Drawing 4.

Step 1 – Mount the lamp holder

Drawing  4 

shows  where  to  mount  the  lamp  holder.  (Once  the  lamp  holder  is 

mounted you may screw in the bulb and then the jewel).

Remove all 6 screws from the 

terminals.  You will not need 

them for this project.

Step 3 – Mount the output jack
Mount  the output jack  in the next  3/8"  hole  over 
from the lamp holder as shown in Drawing 4.

way counter-clockwise. (Once you have done this, you can mount the chicken head knobs while pointing to 
where you want the minimum level setting to be positioned).
