Unfortunately I do not have the tools and am often on the move these days to workshop something but I was curious as there are CBG Kits if there are easy assembled stompbox kits out there as well?

I believe he was talking about a (foot) stompbox not a guitar stompbox, I thought Shane was making & selling these at one time? Ez peezy: take a box, drill a hole for a jack & secure a pickup inside. IMO bass pickups really prevails over piezo if u want volume & fuller tone
Got it my mistake.;)
Do a Google search and you'll find a whole bunch of stompbox kits. Stewmac sells them, Seymour Duncan, Small Bear Electronics, DIY Stompboxes and on and on.
3 very simple effects would be a Gitty Acoustic Preamp with EQ and the Gitty Psycho Knob put in a stopbox or cigar box. Use the EQ to customize your tone, use the preamp for a Boost effect and all the Overdrive/Distortion you need with the Psycho Knob.
I got mine ;)
My new book has complete plans for a foot stomper. Presales happening now at www.poormansguitar.com
Cool!
Any box you find that you can tap your foot on is your DIY kit. solder a piezo to a jack and glue the disk to the inside and you're done. you can even get the pre-made piezo with jack from gitty.

just a couple of ideas that google shows.... i cant find the one that uses a headphone speaker . he glued the magnet to the board and a weight to the speaker cone. either a nut from a bolt or a couple of coins.
So good ideas there. I'm also wondering about a tone knob of sorts, or one of those 3 band EQs used on acoustic guitars to add to the stomp. So if you were busking with an amp with 2 inputs you could low pass the stomp without having to touch the amp.
