*R4 is an optional anti-pop resistor.
** See notes overleaf regarding pinout/orientation before placing.
The power and signal pads on the PCB
conform to the FuzzDog Direct Connection
format, so can be paired with the
appropriate daughterboard for quick and
easy offboard wiring. Check the separate
daughterboard document for details.
Be very careful when soldering the diode
and transistor. They’re very sensitive to
heat. You should use some kind of heat

Test the board!
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES will troubleshooting help
be offered if you have skipped this stage. No exceptions.
Once you’ve finished the circuit it makes sense to test is before starting on the switch and
LED wiring. It’ll cut down troubleshooting time in the long run. If the circuit works at this
stage, but it doesn’t once you wire up the s
