Mint Box Piezo Buffer

I started on this myself, but quickly realized I don't know what I'm doing. It should be a simple project for anyone who does.

I'd like to request a stripboard layout for the Mint Box Piezo Buffer by Scott Helmke. I've made a few on perfboard and they're incredibly useful, but I think a stripboard version would be easier to build.

The schematic can be found here. The original design uses a 2N5457, but alternate version with the BF245C is probably more useful—I found the BF245C more easily at the usual guitar pedal parts vendors.

Ha, i just rustled up a couple as well. I put the change from 220k to 150R rather 150k as i thought that was correct, maybe not. Anway might as well post them.

Thanks to both of you, y'all rock!

Mug, you can consider your second layout (the BF245C version) verified. I just built one tonight, it works great.
