Leave the pots and switches until last. You won’t have access to much of the underside of the PCB once
they’re in place. When soldering these, a good tip is to only attach a single pin of each at first. That way you
can easily melt the joint and reposition the pot or switch to get it aligned with the others before attaching the
rest. They’re difficult to move once fully attached.
If your pots don’t have plastic covers you’ll have to leave plenty of space between the board and the pot body,
otherwise you’ll short out the circuit. Place some thick card beneath the pots while you solder them in. Once
you have your first pin connected, take it out and ensure you have a good clearance.
The labels on the connector pads on the main pcb and the daughterboard are:
DI - Distortion IN, DO, Distortion Out, BI - Boost In, BO - Boost Out. Not that you need to know that. just
connect them together.
Footswitches mount with the tags horizontal, as the blue line of SW2 shows above.
R28 and R28 can go on either side of the daughterboard.
IMPORTANT! If you’re building a version with the original boost,
place a jumper as shown in red above.
