Wanna be the next Tom Scholz? Well, even if you don't lead a mega-platinum band, you can learn to build your own stompbox circuits with the Beavis Board.

The Beavis Board is a kit designed to give you a platform for learning and building. If you can follow along with simple instructions, you can create and mod classic and brand-new stompbox circuits. From frustrated newbie to seasoned pro, you'll find all you need in this package.
