Both the TubeDriver (at Jack Ormanīs) and the RealMcTube (at Aron Nelsonīs, and my page)are great beginnersī pedals. Iīve built the TD, itīs sounds huge, but keep in mind this IS a DISTORTION, big time. I donīt know about the McTube. Looks great though.  
Both are relatively easy to build. An advantage of the TD might be that it can run off a regular 12VDC wall-wart, the McTube needs AC, and runs on highvoltage (watch yourdelf, ok?)  
Also, the Guyatone a6t RGKeenīs looks like a nice little not-too-hard project.  
Hope it helps.
