Connect from the center pole of the switch to the TIP/HOT position of the pair of
output jacks. Use some cut-off stranded wire and strip enough wire to bridge between
both jacks. Connect from the output transformer's Common / Black lead to the
RING/ COMMON position of the pair of output jacks. Strip enough wire to bridge
between both jacks. Follow the layout above..
Check your speaker jack with and without a speaker plugged in to make sure it isn't
shorted.
9 Input Jacks
Wire up the input jacks. Use shielded wire from the input jacks to the tube and be careful when
wiring switched input jacks. It is easiest to remove the jacks, wire them with the resistors and
jumpers and then reinstall them. The ground wires on the input jacks go to the pre-amp ground
along with the board ground at that end.
To prepare the co-axial cable for connections:
1. Cut back the outside plastic covering at both ends by about 5/8" to reveal the braided
shield.
2. At on end, pull back the shield and cut it off at the 5/8" mark. Put some heat shrink around
the end covering the area where it was cut off.
