Capacitors and resistors now installed.
Your board should look like this!…
Transistor-Time!...
The transistor is the ‘engine-room’ of the
Treble Booster. They are all different, have
different responses and gains and can be
right diva’s if not handled with care. Firstly,
they HAVE to be oriented the correct way
around FIRST TIME, otherwise they will self
-destruct on power-up! Some can be a
little sensitive to static, so try not to handle
the leads too much (especially if you’ve
been walking across a nylon carpet)!!.
They are also heat sensitive, so we have to
be careful when soldering them in!
But first, let’s get your transistor in to the
board the correct way around. If you look
at the transistor, you’ll note that it has a
round body with a flat on one side.
