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.

(a bit expensive because of the complete parts stash, but you could build the board yourself, all the documentation is freely available)
