For pcbs: http://www.guitarpcb.com
For parts http://www.effectsconnection.com is also pretty good.

How much electrical experience do you need?
The time needed depends on an awful lot, like your experience and comfort level, as well as the type of build you are doing. If you have a PCB and it's an easy enough circuit, even a new builder can put something together in a couple hours. Of course as things get more complex that stretches your build time out significantly.
As for electrical experience, the basic answer is 'none.' You are working with 9 volts, and if you had no experience I assume you would be working from a kit or a solid instruction set, and typically these don't ask you to do any formulation - you put the resistor where it tells you and solder it in. If you've never soldered anything before then pick up a circuit board out of a trashed clock radio or something and practice de-soldering and re-soldering components a bit so you can get the hang of it without ruining your project in the process.
