	Maybe (This is silly, but think about it) a passive dual-ringmod 
circuit should come with the initial order, to aid in the learning curve. 
There's no power to mess with, and the parts count is 4 transformers, 8 
germanium diodes, and 6 jacks. It'd let you get the hang of soldering, 
mounting, and reading schematics (though limited) and it's a pretty 
foolproof circuit. It's so small, in fact, that it could be a 1.5" 
module.. (hey..) and that way even if the VCF/LFO/VCA/EG/VCO are all 3".. 
you still use most of the space in the basic cabinet. (16.5") 
Alternately, a simple 3-in, 1 out mixer would be a great early project.. 
It's also pretty low-impact, and could be used right off the bat (who 
doesn't need more mixer channels?)

	I like that order..

	Definitely. =)
