Half the reason for making the kit was to give me a reason to do some more woodwork!

I had some bits of ~5mm thick mahogany left over from something, but it wasn't quite wide enough, so I added the softwood strip down the middle,the cut and glued and oiled ...

It actually sounds remarkably good for a Β£25 / 1w (I think) tranny amp!Β  Powered by a 9v battery (or standard pedal PSU if you prefer), the knobs are "grit" and "volume" and the mini toggles give more grit or more more grit, and a bit of tone variation.

A bit of satisfying fun on a sunny afternoon!
