Connect lugs 2, 3 and 6 on the switch
with a wire and solder them. Connect
the other end of the wire to the negative
lug on DC power, but do not solder
it. Connect another wire from the DC
power negative to the sleeve lug on
the input jack. Solder the DC lug but
not the sleeve lug. Run a wire from the
input jack sleeve lug to the output jack
sleeve lug, then solder the input sleeve
lug. Leave the output jack sleeve lug
unsoldered for now.
STEP 5
Connect the input jack tip lug to lug 9
on the switch—the same one with the
unsoldered resistor lead from Step 2—
and solder it. Connect the output jack
tip lug to lug 8 on the switch.

Install the potentiometers. Note: if
your potentiometers have small metal
“teeth” on them that prevents you
from installing them all the way, just
snap them off with a pair of pliers.
Normally, these are used in conjunction
with another small hole to anchor the
potentiometer. Connect the input wire
on the board to lug 5 on the switch,
then connect the wire from lug 2 on
the Gain potentiometer to lug 7 on the
switch. Connect the 9v wire from the
board to the positive terminals of the
DC jack, making sure to span BOTH lugs
with this wire. Finally, attach the ground
wire from the board to the unsoldered
output jack sleeve lug from Step 4.
