Step 3: Putting the components on to the board
Now that the board is clean, you can start soldering the components. Make sure to double if not triple check where each component goes before soldering. This will save lots a of frustration in the long run so you don't need to de-solder parts.
As far as soldering goes, be extra careful with transistors, semiconductors and diodes; as they can be damaged by heat. I recommend that you use heat sink clips if you are new to soldering or do not have as much experience.
In the pictures, you can see that I placed the chip into a holder. What this does is it prevents the chip from being accidently damaged during soldering as well the chip can be replaced. Putting different chips in the holder a different sound to be achieved.
For a soldering, look for an iron with a lower wattage and finer tip.

Hey, did you use one of the off board wiring diagrams from tonepad to put the led and switch in? If so, which one, I'm a bit lost on how to put in the led with a true bypass switch, thanks.
