guitar pedals are piss easy to be honest.
if you are too much of a newb to use protoboards and source parts you can get pcbs with parts relatively cheap.
if you got 10 thumbs you can buy kits with a predrilled chassis for a bit more.
kits are a good place to start, then go over to protobaords and cheap ebay parts later.
the diecast alu boxes are also cheap on ebay, aswell as jacks and stompswitches.
make sure you buy form a source that has a good buildguide if you don't feel confident about assembly.
pedalparts.co.uk is a good source, i dunno about burgerland sources.
I'd also recommend getting/building a simple pedal powersupply so you don't have to fiddle with the stupid battery connectors and worry about space for a battery inside the box.
batteries get expensive in the long run anyway.
9v wallwart is fine, just make sure its centre negative, it not, cut the lead and swap 'em.

What do you mean by soldering kit?
You looking for a little project kit with PCB and components or are you looking for a soldering iron / station.
If you mean an iron, don't bother with anything cheap or aimed at beginners, they'll be absolute shit.
Don't get one of those irons that plug straight into the wall either, the heat can't be regulated and they just constantly use the same power.
So when you actually go to solder something the tip of the iron loses heat and you've to wait until it comes back up again.
Get one with a station that you can adjust the heat on
