    Will do.
    I picked up some point-to-point solder boards and a handful of transistors, so there'll be something (neater) on the way.

    BTW, love the enclosure for the pedal. Nothing says "ghetto" like a plastic storage box!

    Definitely, and I suspect that there is a very good reason for that!

    This: PCB Equipment - Stripboard prt No 335-120, often called matrix board is better I find for projects than stripboard. If you can get it in FR4 glass it is very robust.

    Maplins should have it but you have to be careful that what you get IS matrix and not stripboard.

    Also get a bag of 100 PCB pins. And! A PCB cleaning block, makes soldering a dream!

    Thanks for that. It was matrixed stuff that I got in the end. (I googled the past participle and google said "did you mean matricide". )

    Just ten small boards for a pound or two.
