+## Building Steps
 1. Split PCBs with a cutter and the edge of a table. Do not attemp to break it appart without putting it to an edge!
 2. On components PCB: solder all 10k resistors (6 pieces) in. Careful not to confuse them with 18k!
 3. solder all 18k resistors (2 pieces) in. Careful not to confuse them with 10k!

-50. solder Pots and jacks (make sure everything sits tightly, before soldering the first things). Be careful not to apply too much solder at the jacks.
-51. Take of the panel again
-52. Split the two 5-pin headers (2x male and 2x female) into four 1 pieces. Use a cutter first and then split it with two pliers.
-53. stack both boards with the pinheaders inbetween and solder the pinheaders together (if you are not sure they are straight, only solder one pin)

+57. Assemble the Powercable. Be careful about the orientation of the red stripe on the ribbon cable! Always measure the cable with a multimeter before using it!
+58. Push on the knobs. If the knob is too loose, put a little piece of paper, isolating tape or plastic on the shaft, before pushing on the knob.
