NOISE PLETHORA V1- ASSEMBLY GUIDE – Rev. Feb 2022
OPEN POTS BAG
Be careful not to mix Pot and minijack nuts.
They are similar but different.
POTENTIOMETERS
Now place the potentiometers on the PCB but...
don't solder them yet!
.
Before going ahead, take this in
consideration:
* Check pot holes first. If some are too tight, make them bigger with thin tweezers.
* Pots are really tight. Be SUPER CAREFUL when soldering, as its easy to burn headers or short with close by pins and
exposed vias. Pay special attention when soldering F_ATEN_1, POT_A2 or POT_A1
*POT_A1, POT_A2, and CUTOFF_1 need one of the location lugs to be cut, check silkscreen for details.

ENCODER
Screw the hex nut on the encoder and flat the ground legs with pliers them place the encoder on the PCB where the
silkscreen indicates. The screw under the panel, this will give encoder the right height and avoid damaging your module.
Don't solder it yet.
LED
Place the LED onto main PCB minding its polarity, but
don't solder it
until the front panel is in place. This is the only way
to solder it in the right position.

7 SEGMENT DISPLAY
Place the displays (located in ICs foam),
minding that dot will face down (Segment dot) but don't solder them yet.
FRONT PANEL
Place the
plastic windows
into Display holes, from the back side of the panel. Remember to remove the protection
plastic from
both sides.
Use some hot glue, tape or any method of your choice to stick it.
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.
