This is my first DIY Stompbox.

It’s a Saltbooster as described here. Developed by a knowledgeable gentleman called Mike Livesley, who also kindly posted a schematic, stripboard layout and wiring guide on the forum so that idiots like me could clone his creation.

The wiring is wonderfully sloppy and the pot is still wired up the wrong way but until it possesses me to fix it, it’s staying as it is.
