Assorted parts for pedals

I've been looking for assorted kits that would have most anything you'd need for pedal building, most have some stuff, but a lot of things I'd not really use.

Was thinking maybe someone knew of one or maybe Brian or small bear would be interested in the idea of selling kits, I'd love to get a few that have most of not all the common parts and go mad scientist with it.

It's a little more work but this website and a big order from Tayda or mouser or something would be a good place to start:

Grab a 100-130 value kit and one of the smaller 50 value kits(these are more common values). You'll have resistors covered for years including odd ball values.
Sit the 50 value kit to the side, then pull what you need as needed once the ones from the larger kit are depleted.

I store my resistors in a couple of cheap recipe card boxes, dividing with the insert cards inserted every half decade or so. Keeps in compact, quick and cheap.
As far as caps go, head to tayda and get 10x of everything that's a decade of 10, 15, 22, 33, 47, 56, 68, 82.
Order extra 1, 4.7, 10, 220, 470nf.
Add decades of 12, 27 and 39 if you want completness.
Putt the bags in baseball card holder in a large 3 ring binder.
There. A kit.
And don't buy cheap eBay/Amazon/Ali Electros. Get the middle of the road ones from tayda at minimum. Try for 25v rated for larger values, but you may want a few 16v rated for tight builds. For 100u and down, up to 50v should be fine.

Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.
