Some simple but great sounding pedals/circuits are boosts (SHO, EP boost) or something like a Dist+/DOD 250 which are great sounding distortion pedals, or a Red Llama for a slightly more ragged option.
A lot of people lately have gone head over heels for the EQD speaker cranker, which is just another Electra variant - super simple but great sounding little circuit, in many ways similar to the 250/Dist+ but transistor based. If a lower gain OD sounds like something you might need/want, the Bluesbreaker/King of Tone circuit sounds great too and is quite simple as well.
Once you start looking at modulation, delays etc circuits get quite a bit more complicated. Ultimately if you're going with a kit on PCB more than EE skills per se what you really need is decent soldering technique... and a bit of patience when it comes to the wiring!

All this soldering talk is making me want to have a go at a pedal kit, my colleague is a wizard-tier electrical engineer and has offered to oversee my ham fisted soldering. It’s been a long time since gcse electronics but I’m up for giving it a whirl.
Any recommendations for an easy kit? Maybe not a fuzz as don’t need one. Lots of vids on yt of folks building an Amazon Klon kit.
Preferably something cheap in case I get frustrated/cook something vital.
