BYOC Starter Package

Planning on getting into pedal building as a hobby and found these starter packages on BYOC. Would it be better to get the tools elsewhere, or are these a pretty good deal? I think the only tool I have is wire cutters!

Specifically looking at Starter Package with 1 pedal, or the Starter package with 2 pedals that are at the bottom of the page.

Open to other options as well!

It looks like a great deal to me. It doesn't cost much, you get the right tools and you won't be running out to the hardware store to spend too much on something you're not sure will be right.

Of course, if you really enjoy building you'll replace this stuff, but starting out I'd say this is the perfect thing.

My first tip: If you haven't soldered before, get a load of cheap resistors and practice. There are some great video guides on Youtube.

This is an excellent soldering tutorial from our friend Terry Downs.
