If you’re using any of our footswitch daughterboards, DOWNLOAD THE DAUGHTERBOARD DOCUMENT • Download and read the appropriate build document for the daughterboard as well as this one BEFORE you start. • DO NOT solder the supplied Current Limiting Resistor (CLR) to the main circuit board even if there is a place for it. This should be soldered to the footswitch daughterboard.

POWER SUPPLY

Unless otherwise stated in this document this circuit is designed to be powered with 9V DC.

COMPONENT SPECS

Unless otherwise stated in this document: • Resistors should be 0.25W. You can use those with higher ratings but check the physical size of them. • Electrolytics caps should be at least 25V for 9V circuits, 35V for 18V circuits. Again, check physical size if using higher ratings.

LAYOUT CONVENTIONS Unless otherwise stated in this document, the following are used:

• Electrolytic capacitors: Long leg (anode) to square pad. • Diodes: Striped leg (cathode) to square pad. • ICs: Square pad indicates pin 1. Schematic + BOM

Keep exposure to heat to a minimum (under 2 seconds). The long leg (anode) of the electrolytic capacitors go into the square pads. Snap the small metal tag off the pots so they can be mounted flush in the box. The small metal tag on Q3 should be positioned as shown above in red. the legs will sit naturally in the holes in this position.

o r i r f c a f u u i t c e i u t . l t Test the board! Check the relevant daughterboard document for more info before you undertake this stage. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES will troubleshooting help be offered if you have skipped this stage. No exceptions.

Once you’ve finished the circuit it makes sense to test is before starting on the switch and LED wiring. It’ll cut down troubleshooting time in the long run. If the circuit works at this stage, but it doesn’t once you wire up the switch - guess what? You’ve probably made a mistake with the switch. Solder some nice, long lengths of wire to the board connections for 9V, GND, IN and OUT. Connect IN and OUT to the jacks as shown. Connect all the GNDs together (twist them up and add a small amount of solder to tack it). Connect the battery + lead to the 9V wire, same method. Plug in. Go! If you’re using a ribbon cable you can tack the wires to the ends of that. It’s a lot easier to take them off there than it is do desolder wires from the PCB pads. If it works, carry on and do your switch wiring. If not... aw man. At least you know the problem is with the circuit. Find out why, get it working, THEN worry about the switch etc.

BO ARD GND BOARD INPUT

BOARD GND

BOARD OUT BOARD OUT GND L LE + ED BO ARD IN D LED+ BOARD 9V + BOARD GND BATTERY

Wiring shown above will disconnect the battery when you remove the jack plug from the input, and also when a DC plug is inserted. The Board GND connections don’t all have to directly attach to the board. You can run a couple of wires from the DC connector, one to the board, another to the IN jack, then daisy chain that over to the OUT jack. It doesn’t matter how they all connect, as long as they do. This circuit is standard, Negative GND. Your power supply should be Tip Negative / Sleeve Positive. That’s the same as your standard pedals (Boss etc), and you can safely daisy-chain your supply to this pedal. Drilling template Recommended drill sizes: Pots 7mm Jacks 10mm Micro switch Footswitch 12mm DC Socket 12mm Hammond 1590B Switch 5mm 60 x 111 x 31mm

It’s a good idea to drill the potholes 1mm bigger if you’re board-mounting them. Wiggle room = good!

32mm m m 8

If you mount the switch right up against the PCB it would be 9mm, but it’s best to leave a gap so you don’t short out the cap on the other side.

This template is a rough guide only. You should ensure correct marking of your enclosure before drilling. You use this template at your own risk. Pedal Parts Ltd can accept no responsibility for incorrect drilling of enclosures. FuzzDog.co.uk W b I 6 H D N P e T t 0 i ’ n h a e g i s
