7.1.13 Connect the Control Leads
Hooking up the circuit board is almost done. We now need to solder the wire
leads from the control potentiometers and input jack complex & the ground wire.
+HUH¶VZKHUHDOORIWKHOHDGconnections are.
The input jack wires connect to the pads marked in yellow.
The volume / tone pot wires connect to the pads marked in green.
The ground wire connects to the pad marked by the blue circle.
You should solder on the ground wire you salvaged earlier now.
This will be connected to the existing ground post. You will note that the mains
ground wire from the IEC connector also connects to this post. Some people say
it is better practice to have a separate ground for that wire than the star ground
for all the others.
If you do choose to use a separate ground, do NOT use one of the transformer
bolts. Personally, I just use the existing star ground.
