Mod TONE ATTACK Manuel utilisateur

Use these instructions to learn:

How to build an effects pedal for boosting and cutting tones.

Shape your sound with the Tone Attack. 12 o’clock settings give an approximate unity gain with the pedal.

Rotate the treble or bass knob counterclockwise to cut the corresponding frequencies. Rotate these same

knobs clockwise to boost the frequency bands. The Master Boost knob can be used to attenuate your signal

or push your tone to screaming loud volumes.

FINAL ASSEMBLY REFERENCE DRAWING

This is a large version of the final assembly drawing. Refer to this drawing as you make your way through each step of the instructions. Before you make a new

connection at a particular terminal or solder lug, notice how many other connections will be made at that terminal. That way you can decide whether it’s best for

you to solder the connection and leave space open for future connections or hold off on soldering until after every connection at that location has been made.

SOLDERING TIPS

1. Bend the component lead

and cut it so that it is shorter

than the turret and won’t stick

out of the bottom

2. Guide the prepared lead

into the top hole of the turret.

3. Heat up both component

lead and connection point with

the soldering iron.

4. Apply solder to both

component lead and

connection point. The hole

should be covered with solder

that slightly slopes up the

component lead when the

connection is cool.

It is important to make a good solder joint at each connection point. A cold solder joint is a connection that

may look connected but is actually disconnected or intermittently connected. (A cold solder joint can keep

your project from working.)

Follow these tips to make a good solder joint. Take your time with each connection and make sure that all

components are connected and will remain connected if your project is bumped or shaken.

Bend the component lead or wire ending and wrap it around the connection point.

Make sure it is not too close to a neighboring component which could cause an

unintended connection.

2. Wrap the component lead so that it can hold itself to the connection point.

Touch the soldering iron to both the component lead and the connection point allowing both to

warm up just before applying the solder to them.

Be sure to adequately cover both component lead and connection point with melted solder.

Remove the soldering iron from your work and allow the solder joint to cool. (The

solder joint should be shiny and smooth after solidifying.)

Cut off any excess wire or component leads with cutting pliers.

Clean the soldering iron's tip by wiping it across the wet sponge again after making the

solder joint.

1. Place the component on the

board in the location it will stay

once mounted.

2. Loop the lead around the

lower section of the turret.

3. Pull the lead tight so that

the wrap is snug around the

lower section of the turret.

Repeat this wrap at least once

more to ensure that it will stay

in place. Cut the excess lead.

4. Heat up both component

lead and connection point with

the soldering iron.

Apply solder to both

component lead and

connection point.

SECTION 1 – Mount Large Components

Stripping wire, tinning wire and soldering. Throughout these instructions you will be told to strip

and tin a length of wire numerous times. Unless noted otherwise, cut the wire to the length stated in

the instructions. Then strip ¼” of insulation off each end. Twist each end of the stranded wire, and

apply a small amount of solder to each end (i.e. tin the wire ends). This will prevent the stranded

wire from fraying and will make the final soldering much easier.

Please refer to DRAWING 1 and DRAWING 2.

Orient the enclosure with the three 9/32" holes on top.

Mount the DC power jack in the 15/32" hole on

the left side of the enclosure. Orient its solder

lugs so that the center-pin lug is facing the

bottom side of the enclosure.

Mount the input jack in the 3/8" hole on the left side of the

enclosure with the hardware provided. The washer goes

under the nut on the outside of the enclosure. Make sure the

center solder lug of the input jack is facing up. Correct

positioning of the jack makes soldering the connections easier.

Mount the output jack in the 3/8" hole on the right side of the enclosure.

Make sure the two solder lugs are in their most upright position before

tightening the nut.

SECTION 2 – Wire Low Lying Components

Please refer to DRAWING 3.

Mount the two #4 screws in the two 1/8" holes in the middle of the chassis using two of the #4 nuts.

Mount the turret board on top of the two nuts on the #4 screws.

Place the #6 locking lugs on each side and orient them as they

are in Drawing 2. Use the remaining #4 nuts to hold them in place.

Bend back and remove the alignment tab on the top of each potentiometer using a pair of

pliers before mounting the pots so that they can mount flush against the enclosure surface.

Tab

Mount the three pots in their respective 9/32" holes as shown in

Drawing 2. 50K on the left, 50K in the middle, and 100K on the

right.

SECTION 4 – Finishing Up

Fasten the knobs to the potentiometer shafts by tightening their set screws. Install a 9 volt

battery if needed. Fasten the cover using the four screws provided. Plug your guitar into the

input jack on the right side of the pedal. This turns power on when you are not using an AC

adapter for power. Plug another cable from the output jack (left side) to your amp's input.

When using a battery for power, remember to unplug from the input jack of the pedal to turn it off

and save battery life.

It’s always a good idea to thoroughly double-check your connections before applying power. This

will minimize the risk of damaging components.
