STEP 1: Mount the LEDs, the footswitches and all jacks into the enclosure. Use the saved leads to join lugs 2 and 9 on both switches, soldering both “2” lugs but leaving “9” unsoldered. Attach the negative (shorter) legs of the LEDs to lug 1 on both switches. STEP 2: Curl the resistor legs around the positive LED legs, then wire both resistors together, braiding a third wire between them. Thread the wire’s other end through BOTH positive lugs on the DC jack, and solder just one of the two. You may need to place an insulator (such as electrical tape) between the resistors and the enclosure to avoid shorts. STEP 3: This is where we ground the whole shebang. In any order you wish, make sure the following items are all connected, leaving the last connection unsoldered: Lugs 2 and 6 on both switches, sleeve lugs on both input and output jacks, and the negative lug on the DC jack.
