That depends if I succeed in building the Erebus 
And how Iāll enjoy the process. Since Iāve never done it, I canāt tell for now.
I watched a lot of DIY tutorials the last days. I have a better clue now, what Iāll have to do and which electronic elements I have to know.
And which tools I need, Iām only struggling to decide how much money to put in the tools
Sounds convincing 
Cheap tools cost you more in the long run, knowing if youāre in for the haul is the real question!
I second getting something like a 888D though, after a few DIY Euro kits I upgraded from a no-brand station to one and it made everything a lot less frustrating.
Also this series has a lot of good info, some is overkill but not a bad basis to build onā¦ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5Sb21qbpEQ

I watched his soldering tutorial. Was very helpful
This as well
Another tip is to make sure you get solder with water-solutable flux. That way you can just hold your boards under hot running water to clean them after soldering.

orderd this one, after just finishing a Bastl Kastl as my first kit build. Did some minor repairs on a Korg DW600 and replace the rotaryās on a blofeld for my soldering training.
Hopefully this doesnāt suck me into the modular holeā¦
I hope you ordered the cardboard then. otherwise itās time for a case

Nice
i got shipping confirmation for mine too , though im in the uk , might arrive later in the week i guess.
getting the desktop version.
Ordered mine on Thursday and received it yesterday, UK and Greece must be closer than I thought.
The kitās parts are really neatly arranged and packed. The cardboard box seems sturdy, hopefully Friday night I will have time to start soldering.
Based on how successful Iāll be, I might upgrade the iron and look for another module to go with the Erebus, most likely a source of mudulation

Just as an intellectual exercise I thought of some easy build diy friend who would work with the Lilā Erebusā¦
I wanted to add a Befaco Rampage kit, but apparently thatās a hard buildā¦

my version wouldnt need any of the metal either. just more cardboard to add a groove along the box that the screws (which normally screw into the rail) would rest in.
and try to use more folds than glue , though this might make the required cardboard sheet bigger.
maybe iāll have a go. i currently have 3 x roland fx boxes in some of the packaging that came with my ps4.
