Assembly Preparations
Contents
The 125B/1590N1-enclosures aren’t rectangular, thus we need to mount the input- and outputjacks with a small angle. I use a piece of wire, which I put under the jacks (see in the pictures). Then I solder them.
Insert the dc-jack and solder it.
Note: If you like, you can cautiously clean the areas around the jacks again with PCB-cleaner.
Solder wires to the “ON/OFF”-Port.
Now we take the tooth washer which comes with the footswitch and solder a wire to it.
About shielding:
If we ground the enclosure it will act like a shild. Ungrounded the shielding effect is much smaller.
The pots are equipped with small hooks. (as seen on the picture above). They are not needed.
Just break them away with a pair of pliers
Use tape to fix two or three washers together. (they come with the jacks)
Then use hot glue or super glue to glue the washers to the jacks. If you use hot glue, make sure not to apply to much glue.
