Two of the power and signal pads on the PCB
conform to the FuzzDog Direct Connection
format, so can be paired with the appropriate
daughterboard for quick and easy offboard
wiring. Check the separate daughterboard
document for details. The optional Octave-
Bypass pads need to be wired differently, but a
daughterboard can still be used.
Be very careful when soldering the transistors
and diodes. They’re very sensitive to heat. Keep
exposure to heat to a minimum (under 2
seconds) and leave a few seconds between
soldering each leg. Same goes for the IC if you
aren’t using a socket.
The BS170 is very sensitive to static - handle
with care.
The glass case on the Ge transistors is very
delicate. Take care when bending the legs. Hold
a the leg right up against the body with some
small needle-nosed pliers to take the strain,
and bend the leg with your finger.
You should solder all other board-mounted
components before you solder the pots. Once
they’re in place you’ll have no access to much of
the board. Make sure your pots all line up nicely.
The best way to do that is to solder a single pin
of each pot in place then melt and adjust if
necessary before soldering in the other two
pins. Same for the toggle switch. If your pots
don’t have protective plastic jackets ensure you
leave a decent gap between the pot body and
the PCB otherwise you risk shorting out the
circuit.
Snap the small metal tag off the pots so they
can be mounted flush in the box.
