Hi,
I also recommend the circuits on the CGS website. I've only built the noise source, but I own several Metasonix products and I love them. The BN6 soft-clippers are great for guitar signals, though you should probably start the chain with a preamp. Once the signal is clipped, it will drive the monostable multivibrator in the Hellfire Modulator. The Pentode Filterbank would be a great final stage. However, you should probably begin with the smaller projects. If you don't want to start by building your own power supply, there are some available for purchase, including this one from Lorin Parker;
