but i guess all 9 pins are soldered down. that picture music6000 added got me thinking;)

i make a azure analog chorus kit and it has this 9 pin footswitch to the pcb, in partlist it is called 3PDT footswitch. can it be mouted both ways due to its rectangular format it can be turned two ways. as i read it anyway is working? or? please give me a hint! cheers

sorry but what do you mean by that? it is marked wrong in the paper or I have the wrong capacitor?

no im Total rookie here. would like an multmeter but still missing

ah ok that is the one wrong then so then it is six to go. there should be two 100pF and i have two 101. are they the same? There should be two 470pF and i have two 471. three should be one 100uF i find one 104 and one 47pF is that the 470?

I dont seem to get it. I have 7 MLCC capacitors in the kit but only 6 on instructions paper marked with yellow line and i cant seem to get my min around which ro combine. Help please!

what is a good not so expensive type of solering iron? how many watt, what kind of tip and anything else to think of when starting my first pcb board soldering?

thanks to you I have found my first few capacitors. how about the size. when it says it should be Film capacitor, 7.2 x 2.5mm. I guess this is the size for perfect match with pcb, but can i get away with smaller or larger size i guess it depends on the lengt of the component pins?

wow thanks for all replys and a superthanks to Owlexifry for that guide. it sertanly cleared my mind a bit! yes Im in europe, scandinavia so yeah shipping might get too expensive ordering from over the atlantic. I have seen packs/bundles of amazon or aliexpress with transistors for example. Are...

It seems to me that the hardest part of a pedal project is to get all the right resistors and capacitors etc. is there some good advise on how to find the right? resistors seems easier but capacitors are tricky for a newbe. so many parameters that need to fit. was thinking about building a...
