Step 1:  Use the Orange wire.  Solder lug 8 of the
footswitch to the tip of the out jack.  Solder lug 5 of the
footswitch to the tip of the in jack.  Jumper lug 6 to lug
9.  Make this wire as short as possible.  You can
actually use some of the leftover lead clippings to
make this jumper if you prefer, but if you do, make it
very short so that it does not intrude into the space
where the battery will be.
On most polarized components
such as an LED the positive lead
will be longer than the negative.  
You will need to make solder
lugs for your LED by bending the
leads into circles (needle-nose
pliers work well for this).  Insert
the leads into the rubber bezel
cork before you do this.  You will
need to clip the leads so that
they are not too long, but don't
make them so short that they
touch the bezel when you insert
the LED and cork into the bezel.  
Be sure to keep track of which
newly formed lug is positive and
negative once the leads are
clipped.  If you forget you can tell
them apart by the flag shaped
filiment that is connected to the
negative lead.
Step 2:  Measure and trim a piece of black
wire to connect the negative lead of the LED
to lug 1 of the footswitch.  Strip each end and
solder.
Step 3:  This is a tricky one, so read carefully and
take your time.   Clip all of the gray, purple, and
blue wires coming off the circuit board so that they
are all 3 inches long.  All of the purple wires are
going to the B100K pot (level).  All of the Gray wires
are going to the B25K pot (tone).  And all of the
Green wires are going to the A500K pot (drive).

When you solder, the circuit board should be
outside of the enclosure and facing up just like in
the picture.  Match up the gray wire on the circuit
board coming out of the hole labelled "L1" with
solder lug 1 of the
Level pot and solder.  Match up
the purple wire on the circuit board coming out of
the hole labelled T1 with lug 1 of the
Tone pot and
solder.  Ect.....

Once you've soldered the 9 wires that go to the
potentiometers, install the nylon circuit board
standoffs into the underside of the circuit board,
but do not remove the adheasive backings yet.
Step 4:  Measure and trim the black Jacks wire
on the right and left sides of the circuit board so
that they are long enough to connect to the
sleeves of their respective jacks.  Measure and
trim the black wire coming out of the hole labelled
SW2 so that it is long enough to connect to LUG 2
of the footswitch.  Strip and solder.
