It will have a low limiter so that you can manually adjust how low the kit will go when you turn the main pot.</p></blockquote></div><p>I know this is an old thread, but I&#039;m really curious about this. You can have a stable switching circuit by exploiting&nbsp; &quot;lazy&quot; electricity by prioritizing resistance, but in this instance, is this something that anyone has taken the time to research and verify to be stable? I&#039;m not seeing how connecting two crystals in parallel could be a good idea.</p><p>Just curious since you seem confident to skip this step, which from what I remember, is a step from getlofi&#039;s tutorial. This should explain why the kit is unstable.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<b><i>thursdaycustoms says:</i></b><p>Bottom left of the face. You can move the two capacitors on the audio filter board, cut the board down and then solder the caps back on with wires. Keep in mind the polarity. Cover them with electrical tape and tuck them in the bottom left with the regulator board.<br /><a class="postimg" href="http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e233/rancidfux/GameBoy/8fbeb757.jpg" title="http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e233/rancidfux/GameBoy/8fbeb757.jpg" id="forum_image_17848881"><img src="http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e233/rancidfux/GameBoy/8fbeb757.jpg" /></a></p>]]></description>
