FOOTSWITCHES
Make sure you orientate them with the
tags horizontally as shown. Its a good
idea to put the them
in place in the
enclosure and
loosely tighten
them, then place the
PCB on top to get
the position right
before soldering.
Snap the little metal tag off the pots to mount them flush in the box.
You MUST use some kind of heat sink on the legs of the diodes and the transistors when
soldering. They aren’t keen on heat. Any more than 3-4 seconds of iron and they’re toast.
ALL the components mount on the top side of the board.
It’s a good idea to run the pot wires from the back of the PCB
(opposite side to the components) in order to ensure plenty of
clearance for the jack sockets when assembling. Make sure you give
yourself plenty of length on the wires so assembly isn’t tight.
The pads marked in RED above are to select your Tone Boost
configuration. You could add header pins and use jumpers to select
between them, but its easy enough to just use jumper wires.
Honestly, the Reissue configuration sucks - there’s a big volume drop.
Just go with the original.
