Golden cinch jacks
Next are the two golden cinch jacks. These jacks
will connect the module with your reverb tank
later. We intentionally solder the jacks somehow
crooked to make it easier adding or removing
cables later. Of course you can solder them
perfectly straight if you prefer.
They will be added to the backside where the
power pinhead already resides. So plug a cinch
jack completely into its drilling and lift it's nose
up just before the point, when the first contact
starts to slip out of the hole. Hopefully the upper
pic will clear this step up a bit.
Now turn the pcb, it should look like the lower
pic to the right. The 3 pins in the front are fully
pressed through the drilling, the single pin in the
background just a bit. Now solder the jack with a
lot of solder. The jacks must withstand some
mechanical forces later.
