Guitar pedal prototyping kit

Beavisboard Main
Beavisboard Parts

This looks like an excellent all-in-one solution for those wanting to get started in DIY guitar effects fast. The Beavis Board kit comes with pretty much every necessity for development -

A true-bypass i/o breakout box that makes it easy to connect circuits to the real world, i.e. your guitar, amps and pedals

A pair of breadboards to build on

A big collection of components: resistors, capacitors, transistors, ICs and more, specially selected for building some of the coolest stompbox/audio circuits

A digital multimeter (DMM) that makes learning and troubleshooting much easier.

The Hacker's Guide to the beavis board, a comprehensive guide that shows you how to easily build and mod circuits

The beavis board projects: 25 projects (and growing) with a clear description, schematic, and easy breadboard layout guide. Plus, most of the circuits have great mod ideas so you can tailor each circuit to your tastes.

That main board w/stompbox looks quite handy, even just to model your own remake after. Just add oscilloscope and you may never leave the workbench. - Beavis Board
