Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
I find perfboard more challenging than PCB, and having to drill your own cases is fraught with peril, but it's good fun.

The enlosure is already drilled for 6 pots (it from an abandoned pedal rehouse of mine). Have marked up to drill for switches, sockets etc. I've reasonable metalwork skills and tools and have drilled some enclosures in the past so not too concerned out that part. I always think the most important thing is to mark up accurately and make a good clean centre punch.
I'll try and get some pics up at some point.
The kits as they arrived.

Finished and on board. Note other pedals for size comparison, it's quite compact.

It's sounds... well it sounds like a Tubescreamer and a Sweet Honey . I've only got the Joyo clones of these two pedals to compare, but most people say these are very close to the originals and my clones sounds very close the Joyo clones, my Sweet Honey maybe has a little more gain and the TS a bit more bite. Very happy with the build and will definitely be using it live/for recording. Total cost of kits extra bits and enclosure - approx £45.
I'm totally into the idea of building pedals now, have decided to byapss the kits now and work from the Tagboards site schematics. Ordered loads of componants and going to try and build a Dyna Comp next.
