Yeah go for it, cheers! Ive just ordered an enclosure and some diodes off that Doctor Tweek site, so i'll see how that enclosure is. Ive got a week off coming up too, so will try and get the pedal done then. My electronics skills are pretty rubbish at the moment, but things like this are a good way of picking things up quickly. Let me know how your build goes too!

Yeah that enclosure kit looks really good. After having a quick look on that site, i've now got a list of things to order when I get home tonight. So much easier then scrolling through Maplin too. Cheers for the link to that!

Thanks for the replies guys! I like the idea about buying a cheap commercial stomp box and using that. I'll bear that in mind about the Germanium diodes as well paul_5, even though i'm probably more deadly with a soldering iron at the moment

I dont know if this is the right forum for this, but i'm currently making my own distortion pedal, just as a little project to get my electronics back up to scratch, however I cant find a box to house the circuit in. Has anyone here ever made thier own stompboxes and knows where I can get the boxes from? Another question ive got is whether Germanium diodes are really that much smoother sounding distortion wise, then a Silicon one?

I traded my Sandberg JM4 with Col and everything went nice and smoothly (apart from getting stuck in traffic!) Everything was as described at his end and communication was good. All and all, an excellent guy to deal with, plus he made me a cup of tea!
