GOD$CITY$INSTRUMENTS$–$HM-1$V1.0$Build$guide$
$
Inspired$by$the$pedal$stacking$of$early$Swedish$death$metal$pioneers,$the$God$City$Instruments$(GCI)$HM-1$
combines$the$distortion$and$tone$stack$of$a$DS-1$with$a$boost-only$version$of$the$HM-2$tone$stack.$$$$$
$
For$this$humble$pedal$tweaker’s$disertation$on$HM-2$philosophy$please$check$out$the$Murdock$Plus$build$
guide.$$The$tone$stack$of$the$DS-1$is$very$similar$to$that$of$a$Big$Muff.$$Modifications$for$this$are$well$
documented,$and$the$Duncan$Tone$Stack$Calculator$is$a$great$resource$for$tuning$it$to$the$desired$response.$$$
$
This$pedal$is$an$easy$build,$but$this$guide$is$intended$for$people$who$have$some$experience$building$pedals.$$
Component$sourcing,$component$identification,$assembly$techniques,$wiring$stomp$switches,$etc.$is$not$
covered.$$The$GCI$Brutalist$Jr.$assembly$guide$has$helpful$information$for$less$experienced$builders.$$That$guide$
can$be$found$here:$
http://www.kurtballou.com/brutalistjr/$
$
Available$separately$is$the$GCI$3PDT$utility$PCB$for$PCB$pin$3PDT$footswitches.$$This$PCB$makes$footswitch$
wiring$quick$and$easy.$$Not$compatible$with$solder$lug$style$switches.$$$
$
Don’t$forget$to$connect$the$ground$pad$of$the$PCB$to$the$ground$lug$of$the$input,$output,$and$DC$power$jacks!$
$
Due$to$the$scope$of$this$project,$technical$support$is$not$available.$$However,$consider$joining$the$GCI$DIY$PCB$
Builders$group$on$Facebook$to$get$advice$from$and$share$your$work$with$other$builders.$$We$require$that$all$
group$members$agree$to$the$rules$before$being$accepted$into$the$group.$$$

$
Component$values$for$the$PCB$as$well$as$some$alternate$values$are$listed$below.$$This$is$a$BOM$for$the$PCB$
only.$$Resistors$and$diodes$are$6.3mm$leg$spacing,$film$and$ceramic$capacitors$are$5.08mm$leg$spacing,$and$
electrolytic$capacitors$are$2.54mm$leg$spacing.$$I/O$jacks,$DC$jack,$switch,$enclosure,$and$knobs$are$not$listed.$$
