Hey.
I am very new (but very enthusiastic) to modding/creating pedals and am wondering what I should buy. I have very little knowledge and while reading the forums most of the techniques/items mentioned were meaningless to me. So I plead for your help. What should I look for in a soldering iron, solder, flux (I don't really know if I need this), stuff for desoldering, stuff for resoldering, breadboards, and any other necessity which I have neglected.
Thanks for your help, it is very much appreciated.
