Your Beginner Pedal Kit comes with
a soldering practice kit,
a pre-drilled aluminum enclosure (optionally decorated with powder coating and UV printing, or a face plate),
and the following parts:
Wrench
The kit includes a unique 3-in-1 wrench tool so you can tighten the nuts on the potentiometers, foot switch, and phone jacks.
Presorted Components
The components that might otherwise be difficult to identify are presorted in a labeled, cardboard tray.
Most kits throw all the parts in the bag, requiring you to read the codes or colored stripes printed on them. This can be a source of frustration and mistakes, so let's avoid that! If you get any mixed up, though, you can use this table to help identify them if needed.
(some images below show the parts from multiple angles to help identify them; it's NOT an indication of quantity)
