The booster without the switch‐pot can be installed anywhere in the

guitar. A DPDT switch is needed (not provided) and it will be wired

with 6 wires (not provided) to the switch's six points on the PCB.

INSTALLATION

Before proceeding with installation test the booster alone, outside

the instrument electronics. Simply apply a signal to the input (Hot

Wire and Ground) and connect the output to an amplifier. This will

avoid the suspicion that the booster is not working properly if errors

may happen further in the installation process.

The installation should be performed by a skilled technician who

understands guitar electronics, wiring diagrams, signal flow, and can

perform modifications if needed or desired.

We cannot and we will not make custom wiring drawings. We

provide the most common wiring examples from which you may

derive a particular configuration. These are available in the product

webpage.

We strongly advise you to draw and archive the original instrument

wiring for future reference.

Plan your custom installation on paper and when you are sure the

signal flow is correct through all the components use that as your

guidance.

Hand working and soldering are required so be prepared to spend a

few good hours on installation. Woodwork may be necessary –have

your tools ready. Proper mechanical, electric, and testing tools are

needed.

FINAL TOUCH

The booster's adjustment trimmers have a long sliding shaft that

goes through the trimmer rotors. The sliding shafts adjust the knobs

height when passed through the plastic back cover or through the

pick guard and allow flush alignment at the top of the back plate or

the front pick guard. Knob holes need a 6 mm bit and are 10mm

apart from each other in straight line. The trim‐knobs are reversible,

if the settings need to be done from the front pick guard instead of

the back plate of the instrument. The direction of rotation for the

trimmers is also reversed in this instance. You may fix the trim‐knob

shafts in the trimmer rotor with a small drop of nail lacquer. Be sure

that you will not lock the trimmer rotors. Remove the lacquer with a

cutter if these need readjustments. Do not use solvent to remove

the lacquer because you risk infiltrating the trimmer and destroy it.

Remove the washer and one nut if the pot thread length is too short

to pass through instrument's wood. These are the switch‐pot

dimensions.

IN OPERATION

The Micro Booster is configured for clean flat boost in all audio

spectrums for the given amplification headroom. Push the switch‐

pot once ‐ the signal goes through the booster circuit (the knob will

go a little higher, so you will notice the booster is engaged); push

again and the signal is routed in TRUE BYPASS straight to the output

of the instrument. The sliding DPDT switch side of the switch‐pot

may introduce static noise or pops when switched, which is normal

for these type of switches used in such applications.

Adjusting the Gain, Lows, and Highs trim‐knobs may introduce static

noise, which is normal for these types of trimmers which are

intended for set and forget adjustments only. You may use a

contacts cleaning aerosol solution (which also contain a conductive

lubricant) to reduce or prevent the static noise or popping

occurrences while operating the potentiometer, trimmers, and the

sliding switch. Use a small puff of solution on each at a time and

perform several mechanical actions to help spreading the conductive

lubricant inside of these parts.
