Step 9: Measure and trim the black wire on the right connected to the hole labelled "jack" so that it is long enough to connect to the sleeve of the IN jack. Strip 3mm off the end of the black wire and solder it to the sleeve of the IN jack. Note: The black wires connected to the holes labelled "jack" will complete the ground circuit. The will go to the sleeves of the jacks. It makes no difference which jack they go to. If you don't have any problems stripping such a short piece of wire, you can connect them to the closer jack. In the directions here, I connect them to the farther jacks in steps 9 & 10 because it is easier to work with the longer wire.

You are now basically done with your squeezer clone. Go to the "finishing touches and trouble shooting" section now. But remember not to attach your circuit board to the back of the 10K pot untill you know that the pedal works. Also, if pin 8 of the JRC4558D or any of the copper traces directly connected to pin 8 on the underside of the board touch ground while the pedal is plugged in and powered it will fry the op amp. It shouldn't be too much of a problem, but just be careful of that. And remember that you may have to tweek the trim pot a little. If your squeezer sounds a little fuzzy, this means that you need to adjust the bias. Congratulations!
