Install the non-electrolytic capacitors,
bend the leads, solder and clip.

STEP 6
Cut the transistor leads to fit, then
wedge the transistors into the sockets.
Try to leave the inner and outer legs
of the transistor at 45 degree angles
instead of bent outward and then
downward. This ensures that the
transistors won’t come loose.

Run the wires to the potentiometers,
input, 9v and ground.
STOP!

At this time, checking continuity
across rows and across cuts is a good
idea. Get a multimeter, set the mode
to what looks like a soundwave, and
make sure it doesn’t beep across
each adjacent row and to the left and
right of any cut (and because the right
side of rows E and F are connected
by a jumper, they will beep). This will
ensure that you don’t have to pull the
board out for more work once it’s in.
