I know I've missed this, but where did you learn how to do the etching from?

I've found a few tutorials on the web when I wanted to learn how to etch PCBs. The principle's the same. The drawing stuff I learned through trial and error. You can transfer toner like you'd do for a pcb layout for a pre-determined piece. What I did for this one is: do a coat of paint, wait a couple hours for it to become sticky and draw directly on it with a nail. The drawing is exposed to the acid, which etches tue design. Now if I could only draw properly...

Very nice. Love the home pcb etching - reminds me of my grad days making circuits in the lab.

Yeah, pedal-wise there's just something really nice about opening a diy one and seeing a nice tight clean pcb...
