When posting a tech support thread on the BYOC forum, please post it in the correct
lounge, and please title your thread appropriately. If everyone titles their threads
“HELP!”, then it makes it impossible for the people who are helping you to keep track of
your progress. A very brief discription of your specific problem will do. It will also
make it easier to see if someone else is having or has had the same problem as you. The
question you are about to ask may already be answered. Here are a list of things that you
should include in the body of your tech support thread:
1. A detailed explanation of what the problem is. (not just, “It doesn’t work, help”)
2. Pic of the top side of your PCB.
3. Pic of the underside of your PCB.
4. Pic that clearly shows your footswitch/jack wiring and the wires going to the PCB
5. A pic that clearly shows your wiring going from the PCB to the pots and any other
switches(only if your kit has non-PC mounted pots and switches)
6. Is bypass working?
7. Does the LED come on?
8. If you answer yes to 6 and 7, what does the pedal do when it is "on"?
9. Battery or adapter.(if battery, is it good? If adapter, what type?)
Also, please only post pics that are in focus. You're only wasting both parties' time if you
post out of focus, low res pics from your cell phone.

Populating the Circuit Board
STEP 1: Add the resistors. Resistors are not polarized, so it does not matter which end
goes in which solder pad.
STEP 2: Add the diode. The 1N4001 will be black with a silver stripe. Be sure to
matched the end of the diode with the stripe to the layout on the PCB. The stripped end
should go in the square solder pad.
STEP 3: Add the IC socket. Line up the U shaped notch of the socket to the notch on the
PCB layout. Solder only the IC socket to the PCB. Do not solder the actual IC. The IC
inserts into the socket the same way you'd plug a vacuum tube into a socket. See page
21 for instructions on how to install the IC into the socket.
STEP 4: Add the film capacitors. These are not polarized so they can be inserted into
the PCB in either direction. If you are building for use with bass guitar, you should use
the .1uf(100n) capacitors in the places marked with an “*”.
STEP 5: Add the transistors. Match the flat side of the transistor to the flat side of the
layout on the PCB.
