God’s Box Lollipop 

Eurorack DIY Kit 

Instructions 

Version 1 

 
LOLLIPOP BUILD INSTRUCTIONS 

 

 
1. 
 
There are two PCBs used in this build - they are referred to as the top board 
and the bottom board. They can be identified by locating the text on each 
PCB as shown. 

 

 

 
 
2.  
 
Start by emptying the bag containing 
the two PCBs – this will also have the 
resistor  bags  containing  the  56K 
resistors and single 330K resistor.

 

 
There  are  some  instructions  printed 
on  the  PCB  bag  related  to  the  top 
PCB – we will now follow them.
