Vult Freak DIY Kit
Assembly Guide

Thank you very much for supporting the Vult project!
I developed the Freak lter as a module for myself. I’m very glad
that more people have adopted it and have made it an
essential tool in their sonic arsenal.
Assembling this module is not complicated. But even if you are
an experienced builder, we recommend you to read and follow
this guide.
The build is divided into four sections.
1. Assembling the main board.
2. Assembling the control board (part 1).
3. Assembling the control board (part 2).
4. Final mounting of the module.
The control board is split into two sections because this will
simplify the cleaning of the board without damaging the
sensitive components like the OLED screen which can break
with liquids.
IMPORTANT: in this guide you will nd many sections
highlighted this way. Make sure you follow the indications.
I hope you enjoy the module, and if you like it, share the Vult
love with friends and enemies.

Disclaimer:
By purchasing a DIY kit you are aware that you are responsible
of the outcome of your build. Before starting, verify that none of
the parts has been damaged during the transport.
If your build fails, we can provide a limited service to help you
repair it. The cost will depend on the extent of the damage.
We want you to succeed. For that reason we tried to make this
guide as detailed as possible.

Assembling
the main board

In this section we are going to build the main board. You will need the
following parts:
• The Core board (with all SDM parts)
• 1 power connector (2x5 pins)
• 4 female headers (1x10 terminals)
• 1 push button (no cap)
You can see the elements in the following picture:

Start by soldering the 10 pin female headers.
Insert the header from the component-side of the board and hold it.
Solder only one terminal.
Verify that the header is correctly placed before soldering the rest.
The header should stand at 90 degrees.
Repeat the same process for all four headers.

NOTCH
Now you are going to solder the power connector. This connector
has a notch. The notch should be below the word POWER written
in the board.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you place it in the correct direction.
Use the same procedure as for the headers: solder one pin, verify
that the connector is correctly placed and then solder the remaining
pins.

To nish this section, solder the RESET button.

Your board should look like the pictures below.
