Orienting Transistors/Finish up
Step 1: Install the transistors
Install the transistors. Do not solder the transistors . Simply push the lead
wires into the appropriate socket holes. The transistor socket hole with the
tab next to it will be the emitter. The lead wires on the germanium
transistors will be rather long, so you will want to clip off the excess. But be
sure to leave enough so you can bend the transistor down and out of the way
when you seal the enclosure. But do not clip the transistor leads untill you
have tested your pedal and know that they work.
Step 2: Adjusting the bias trimpot.
There is no special trick to this. Simply turn the trimpot till it sounds good
to you. Some people say that you must set the bias so that the collector of Q2
measures 4.5 - 5.5v, but this is only a matter of opinion. Trust your ears for
this step. If you like the way it sounds at 6.5v, that’s perfectly fine.
