Step 13Install Components
It's a tight fit for some of the components. Some will need wires soldered onto them before mounting them in the case.
Start by soldering wires onto the input and output jacks, the power connector, and the switch. These are the hardest to reach when the components are installed. The wires should be long enough to reach to the opposite corner of the case, just in case.
Insert the input and output jacks first. You will have to bend flat the leads closest to the jack's opening so that it will fit in the case. Fasten the jack using the included nut.
Install the switch next. Try not to over-tighten the nut too much, or you may risk cracking the top of the case.
Next install the potentiometers. Be mindful of which goes where - use the schematic as a guide and install the 500k audio pot in the "volume" position and the 50k linear pot in the "drive" position. Orient the pots so the pins face away from the jacks.
Last, install the power jack. It might be a tricky fit (in fact, you could even install it in the panel before gluing in place).
The tube socket won't be installed until some components are wired up first.
