Mouser carries MG Chemicals copper clad board. Many sizes and such, so I'm not going to spec a part number, but here's the catalog page:
http://mouser.com/catalog/catalogUSD/641/2165.pdf

Typical board is 1/16", single sided, 1oz copper.

I've been buying them off eBay with good results. Better price and selection than the local Rat Shack.
Modding a DS-1? Please read 'Build Your Own DS-1 Distortion'.

"Other than a good first-in-line buffer/booster, using other FX to improve bad clean tone is like gift-wrapping garbage."

I do ebay as well. I've been spending about $10 for 12 for boards shipped.

You did not mention your etching method... :scratch:
- Are you a mod or a rocker?
- Uh, no, I'm a mocker.
