Step 6: Install the mini toggle switch
Step 7: Install the control pots
The three-position mini toggle switch installs on the back of the board, and
there is no location marker printed. Solder the switch to the three large eyelets
pictured, making sure it’s flat and square to the circuit board.
The switch is not directional, so it works equally well turned in either direction.
The last components to go onto the circuit board are the three control pots.
They install on the back of the board. Each pot has three connecting lugs; the
illustration in Step 8 shows the three pots in position on the board.
Each pot has an index pin protruding from the case. Break off this pin before
installation, so the pot will mount flush against the pedal case. Needle nose
pliers work well for removing the pins.
Use the adhesive foam tape to insulate the back of the pot from the soldered
leads of the other parts. Solder the pot in place, making sure it sits flat on the
back of the board.
