Add Verb Pre-Flight Wiring/Soldering Checkover

[Anonymous]

Wondering if one of you good people might be willing to cast an eye over my wiring arrangement and soldering? In particular, I’m not sure if I’ve got the stereo jack right (tip and sleeve connections to the two boards) and I also installed the CLR for the diode in R10 on the main board rather than the switch PCB. Otherwise, first time builder here so wondering if the quality of my soldering will get me through ?

Trying to follow the build doc as best I can and obviously have yet to populate IC2, the pots and the BTDR-3 chip.

TIA

I’ll caveat my first comment by saying that I typically don’t use batteries and stereo jacks in my builds so have no real experience with them.  That said, the stereo jack looks okay.  Connections on the mono jack need to be reversed – the purple from the 3PDT board needs to go to where you have the white from the main board and the white (G from the main board) needs to go where you have the purple wire attached.

With the CLR (R10) on the main board you’ll have to put the diode (LED) on the main board not the 3PDT.

Reverse the purple and white wires at the output jack! In the photo, the purple wire from the output of 3PDT PCB daughterboard is going to the ground side of the jack and the white wire going from the main PCB ground is going to the output jack’s ‘tip’.

With the CLR (R10) on the main board you’ll have to put the diode (LED) on the main board not the 3PDT.

Or, move the CLR to the 3PDT wiring board and install the LED there.  That will eliminate the need to install wiring from the 3PDT board to the main board at S4, S5, and S6.
