KICKALL V1C - ASSEMBLY GUIDE – Apr 2019
MINI-JACKS
Place the mini-jacks on the PCB ensuring they are on the side with the silkscreen but
don't
solder them
until the front panel is in place with all nuts screwed to it.
This way it's
easier to solder them in the right position. Keep in mind that the front panel holes are quite
narrow and it is almost impossible to place it with all the components already soldered.
POTENTIOMETERS
Now place the potentiometer on the PCB but...
don't solder it yet!

LED
Place the LED onto the PCB minding their polarity, but
don't solder them
until the front
panel is in place. This is the only way to solder them in the right position.
The long leg is the positive and the short the negative. On the PCB the square pad indicates
the negative side and there is a + symbol to indicate the positive.

FRONT PANEL
Attach the
front panel
adjusting the parts one by one if necessary until it fits. At this point a
pair of fine tweezers can be helpful.
To Finish:
- Screw in the parts in this order: A)
Mini-jacks
B)
Pots
C)
Push button.
- Ensuring all of the above parts are flush with the panel and both PCB and panel are
perfectly parallel. Then you can
finally solder
them!
- Cut the exceeding part of the legs of the push button, after soldering).
- Fit the LEDs on the panel holes and solder them
- Put the
knobs
on the potentiometers and the red caps on the switches/Faders.
- Connect the
power ribbon cable
: The red wire (-12V) on the power ribbon cable
corresponds to pin number one on the male power connector. The number one pin is
indicated with a small triangle on the male power connector and a white line on the main
PCB. A white or black line (or “-12v”) marked on your power bus normally indicates the
corresponding pin.
