Welcome!
Take this with a grain of salt because, I still don't really know what I'm doing (although I'm not sure anyone feels like they ever do); but, here's my experience.
For recommendations - skip to the -------------- Bottom Line ------------------ below
My first project was this little breadboard prototyping pedal box thingy I made out of stuff I bought at RadioShack (before all the stores closed):

There are much better ways to do this and I regret my potentiometer selections for this box but, I was really green and the Shack didn't have board mounted pots (I don't even think I knew there was such a thing at that point).
But, on that box, I built circuits that I found online and I was instantly hooked.
Fast forward many "wasted" hours and here's where I am:

Hah! - still building distortion boxes :P - well - and this:

----------------------------------------------------- Bottom Line -----------------------------------------------------
After all that here are the things I can suggest you stock up on (and I would bet you can find cheaper versions of any of these - but what's in them is what matters):
For IC's:

For Potentiometers:
https://www.amazon.com/Logarithmic-Linear-Reverse-Potentiometer-Assortment/dp/B07SVMC3VK
Then you'll want a grab bag of diodes and transistors - look at different schematics of fuzz and distortion pedals and get an idea of what they're using - I just bought a bunch at RadioShack and some I got from Mammoth (also now defunct) and Small Bear (still rolling). I have em in a box and I swap em out on the breadboard to see how it changes the sound. That's the best part to me. When I'm on a breadboard - if I replace this guy with that guy how does the sound change? Definitely not the intelligent way but I enjoy that pseudo-creative process.
Finally - you should get some resistor and capacitor kits. My wife got me kits from amazon that have a label "JoeKnows Electronics" on the boxes. I haven't come across anything I've wanted for that wasn't in those two boxes.
Oh - as an added bonus:

This is my favorite storage box - find you a super coupon and grab one or two of these.
Anyway -
My sincerest congratulations and my deepest condolences for the path on which you are about to embark.
