When mounting the footswitches it’s a good idea to do it using the enclosure. Drop the footswitches
into their holes in the enclosure, but on the top face on the box (as above). Now place your
daughterboard onto the switches and get them nice and straight. Solder a single tag of each
footswitch into place, then take them out of the enclosure and check the positioning. You want the
tags as horizontal as possible for the best fit, and the switches should be flat against the PCB. If
they’re at all wonky, melt the solder joint and adjust. Once they’re looking good and you’re sure they
still sit in the enclosure holes ok, get the other tags soldered in too. Don’t forget to solder in the
current limiting resistors for your LEDs, but leave the LEDs out for now.
