    Order of Soldering:
  1. All SMT is already installed, but not the SMT header.
  2. Solder the SMT power header.
  3. Vactrols, solder it on the botom side where all the SMT is, LED side of the vactrol is on the side where the button is, the short legs go in the two center holes next to eachother.
  4. Solder the 2n3904, the blue trimmer pot
  5. Solder the MIC, it has sticky tape under it, you can stick it to the PCB with this. Then solder it.
  6. On the green pots, there is a little flap that keeps to pot from rotating if there is a hole in the front panel there, cut the flap off.
  7. The washers go on the green potmeters, between the front panel and the pot (it also works without them)
  8. Put in all the big components and screw it tight with the nuts.
  9. The LEDS are short leg into round hole (see markings on silkscreen).
  10. Make sure its all strait, aligned with the top pannel then solder it.
  11. The 20k pots are sensitive, make sure the heat is between 280 and 300 degrees and solder only for 2 seconds on each point.
