So now 

it’s

 time to get down to building your pedal! 

 
We are hoping to go from this        

             

                      to this   

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
The first thing you must do is identify your parts from the pack.   I suggest you separate them into 
groups of like components, working on one smaller group at a time.  
 
Start with the main PCB and set aside anything to do with the offboard section. You won

’t

 need to 

worry about that bit for a while yet. 
 
As  a  rule,  I  build  from  small  to  big 

  therefore  step  one  will  be  to  identify  the  resistors  and  any 

diodes inside your kit.  
 
Each kit has a parts list at the top of the guide. So as an example, if R1 is listed as a 1M resistor then 
you dig out a 1M from the pack and place it on the PCB in the R1 spot. It

s your call if you put one in 

and solder or put a few in or even put them all in and solder. I’ll let you decide. 

 

 
The front of the PCB is the side with the white writing on (the silkscreen) 
 

 
You then need to follow the same 
process  for  all  the  other  parts. 
Working  in  height  order  mount 
the  rest  of  the  parts  to  the  PCB 
ensuring  that  you  solder  them  in 
place well as you go. 
 
I  then  add  the  pots  either 
mounting  them  to  the  board  or 
wiring them into place.
