You mention that you have done some soldering but do not have a lot of
experience with electronics. I would suggest starting with a simple
module to get your feet wet. Maybe a manual mixer, we all need
mixers, right.
Also get good tools. Please do not go to radio shack and pick up a
soldering iron. Get a good temperature controlled iron with chageable
tips. I picked a good one up on ebay for 35 bucks a few years ago, so
there is no excuse.
Also keep in mind that Kens kits are more advanced than some. There
are no front panel designs on his web page. I think that is because
he assumes the builder is going to make a lot of the decisions on the
final design. The boards are very well made and laid out but the open
endedness of the design caries through to the documentation. You will
not get any step by step directions. That's ok, just make sure you
are up to it. Look at the info available on his site and decide if
you could build the module from just that info.
