General Build Instructions

These are general guidelines and explanations for all Aion Electronics DIY projects, so be aware that not

everything described below may apply to this particular project.

Build Order

When putting together the PCB, it's recommended that you do not yet solder any of the enclosure-mounted

control components (pots and switches) to the board. Instead, follow this build order:

1. Attach the audio jacks, DC jack and footswitch to the enclosure.

2. Firmly attach the pots and switches to the enclosure, taking care that they are aligned and straight.

3. Push the LED

into the hole in the enclosure with the leads sticking straight up, ensuring that the flat side

is oriented according to the silkscreen on the PCB.

4. Fit the PCB onto all the control components, including the leads of the LED. If it doesn't fit, or if you need

to bend things more than you think you should, double-check the alignment of the pots and switches.

5. Once you feel good about everything, solder them from the top

there is no stress on the solder joints from slight misalignments that do not fit the drilled holes. You can

still take it out easily if the build needs to be debugged, but now the PCB is "custom-fit" to that particular

enclosure.

6. Wire everything according to the wiring diagram on the last page.

For the LED: You can use a bezel if you'd like, but generally it's easier just to drill the proper size of hole

and push the LED through so it fits snugly. If you solder it directly to the PCB, it'll stay put even if the hole is

slightly too big. Make absolutely sure the LED is oriented correctly (the flat side matches the silk screen) before

soldering, as it'll be a pain to fix later! After it's soldered, clip off the excess length of the leads.

Note on soldering the toggle switch(es): It will require a good amount of solder to fill the pads. Try to be as

quick as possible to avoid melting the lugs, and be prepared to feed a lot of solder as soon as the solder starts

to melt. I recommend waiting 20-30 seconds between soldering each lug to give it time to cool down.

"RPD" and "LEDR" resistors

The resistors marked "RPD" and "LEDR" are generally not original to the circuit and can be adjusted to

preference. "RPD" is the pulldown resistor to help tame true-bypass popping, while "LEDR" controls the

brightness of the LED. I generally use 2.2M for the pulldown resistor and 4.7k for the LED resistor.

Sockets

Since double-sided boards can be very frustrating to desolder, especially components with more than 2 leads,

it is recommended to use sockets for all transistors and ICs. It may save you a lot of headaches later on.
