I found this project online and am pretty excited about it. I really enjoyed this one as it was a step of independence in my stompbox building career. I have done a few BYOC and GGG kits before and love them. This one was on a bread board and so I didn't have a nicely laid out PCB with obvious directions for components and pretty connections between them all. It is a little sloppy and I won't be churning out anything that anyone will want to buy any time soon, but it was a lot of fun.
I can't read schematics, I have a B.A. in humanities, and I'm pretty mechanically inept and I got it all done. I would highly recommend looking in to something like this. I paid under $20 for all the components (granted I have no enclosure right now) and got some fun, experience, and a fat nasty fuzz.
