Stock - Must have at home

[flongo]

Hi Guys

I just started doing my own stompboxes. I don't know what do do next, but I will do somtething in future. The problem is, shipping costs are very high where I live.
Now, what should I order? What do you think, which parts are the must haves at home to start a new , simple project?

I think resistors with all possible values, some IC's and capacitors will do it. But which ICs, etc. What do you have always at home?

Cheers

What do you have always at home?

BEER..!!!
(for welcome new members..)

E12 series resistors & E6 series capacitors should be fine..
(don't get to high for electro caps values - up to 470μF at 16 or 25V..)

2 - 3 100k linear pots..

For IC's any general purpose op-amp, like TL072/082, should be O.K.
(in most cases, do prefer dual op-amps even if circuit calls for single ones..)

Also, some small signal amplifier n-p-n BJTs, like 2N3904, 2N5088/89, MPSA13/14..
(ok, and a couple of 2N3906 p-n-p for the shake of "just because"..)

1N4148 & 1N4004 Diodes and a variety of coloured LEDs..


Of course, the above just scratch the surface and be prepared to have handy enough blank Excell sheets..
