What was your first pedal?

[meatwad]

Rat distortion pedal, around '87 or '88.

Same here.

 

[LiamPodmore]

Same as the OP. Boss MT-2 Metal Zone. Cost me £10

[Wayfarer]

Boss DS-1.
Paid $20 for it... and in no way did I get my money's worth.

 

[MRDOOM]

Behringer BOD100 Bass overdrive

 

[TheMutt]

My first pedal was a DigiTech Bass Multi Chorus. Strangely enough this was because of the over-the-top chorus sounds from Nirvana... which weren't even on the bass...

 

[slurpy]

Digitech BP 50

 

[bt99]

pedal bike

 

[McSpunckle]

Got the line of Digitech Bass X Series pedals (Comp, Chorus, Dist, Synth) for Christmas one year when I was about 15 or so.

The BSW was the final one to go.


-edit-

Wait, I got a BP200 before that! Right. Forgot about that...

 

[bigchiefbc]

Digitech BP-200

 

[giacomini]

Yamaha NE-1 Nathan East Parametric EQ

 

[My name is Mudd]

Actually, as this thread is kinda my fault, I suppose I should make an appearance...

I said over there that my first was a DigiTech BP-80 but I'd forgotten that before that, I'd stumbled over a slightly battered NYC Muff for $20, and that was my first'est pedal.

First one I played on was my buddy's Crybaby (don't like those things at all). My first was a NYC Muff. First one to wow me? My Russian Muff.

 

[KarateKid25]

I think mine might have been a Boss HM-2 back when I played guitar.

 

[mpdd]

american metal, cool to look at and talk about, not that good for bass

 

[Bassmike62]

My 1st guitar pedal (mid 70's): an EHX fuzz pedal operated by a slide switch. Probably a Muff early version.

My first bass effect (2 years ago or so): Zoom B1 multi-effect.

1st real bass pedal: SansAmp PBDDI. Still have it, no plans to part ways with it.

 

[Nashrakh]

BOSS ODB, bought it used... and sold it again right after. Didn't get any usable tones out of it.

 

[Deluge Of Sound]

DOD FX72-B. I think I purchased it in '03 or '04.

And I've still got it.

 

[BasslineBullet]

a NYC big muff pi i got off a guitard friend for 40 bucks, sold it the next day, just didnt like it so i dont know if that counts...the first one i kept, an aphex aural bass exciter

 

[Jazz Ad]

A Boss DD-2. I spent countless nights playing with the micro looper.

 

[bassbrad]

For bass it was a Dr Q 1976.
First pedal ever was for guitar a Hammond Wah Wah 1973.
