Solder 16 wires and one component for full control
The installation takes cca 1 hour. There is no drilling, only soldering and cutting off. There are few steps of the install process: power supply, footswitch, potentiometers and program selector replacement. All steps are necessary to achieve full control of all parameters. We recommend to test the sound of the pedal at the end of each step .
