Thank you for choosing an - this build guide will help you in your
endeavor to successfully build your triple passive performance mute - I recommend you
read the build guide before starting your build. The is an easy build, and very
suitable for beginners in synth DIY, but you can avoid many potential pitfalls by following
and familiarizing yourself with the build process before beginning.
Building electronics is a fun and rewarding hobby, but just as you practice basic safety
procedures while cooking, so should you practice basic safety precautions in your
workshop. Below are some recommendations on measures you should take while working:
▪Your soldering iron is dangerously hot. When not in use, be sure to put it somewhere
where it will not fall or roll away, and where you are not at risk of snagging the cable
and making it fall on something, or yourself, as you work.
▪Be mindful of toxic chemicals and fumes. I recommend using lead-free solder,
working in a well-ventilated area to dissipate fumes, and if you opt to use leaded
solder, be sure to wash your hands after soldering, and do not eat or drink in your
work area.
▪Wear adequate eye-protection. A good pair of safety glasses will not obstruct your
vision, will be comfortable to wear for extended periods of time, can be had for less
than €9 and will, most importantly, protect your eyes from injury. Hot solder can spit,
and trimmed leads can turn into projectiles, both of which can cause irreversible
damage to your eyes. Make it a habit to wear safety glasses while working.
You are responsible for your own safety while working –so please don’t e-mail me if you
decided squinting your eyes while trimming LED leads was a sufficient alternative to a pair
of safety glasses and end up in the emergency room. With proper health and safety
precautions, you can look forward to practicing your hobby for years to come.
