Hi, I'm Tim and I'm from Poole in Dorset, UK. I tell people I worked in electronics, then I tell them I was in testing and packing! (Penny & Giles Potentiometers). I know how to do certain simple things like put a board together but it's the understanding of stuff I get lost on so I can't problem solve and work it out.

So, I've bought a Timmy Clone Kit from Bitsbox and I have the board all done. I found IvIark's diagram for off board wiring and sort of understand but it's stuff like which way up is the 3PDT Footswitch and what do the terminals do? Why have I got a stereo jack and is that the input or output? What does wiring to ground mean, to the back of the pot, the box, the ground??

Is there a book or guide that will give me the basics so that I don't have to waste your time and embarrass myself on forums like this. Maybe I'll search Amazon and see if there is an Electronics for Dummies?

Anyway, thanks for reading and if anyone can help at all, I would be very very grateful.



This what we have so far.....
