What was your first pedal?

I bought a Boss OC-2 and a cheap boss copy analog delay in 87 - I can't remember which one I bought first. I bought the delay so I could play even 16ths throughout 'Legs' by ZZ Top in a cover band. I still have both pedals.

My guitarist borrowed the delay pedal from me about 18 months ago. Recently I asked him if he still knew where it was. He pulled it out and said 'yeah, I've got it here but it's broken'. Turns out there wasn't a battery in it and he never checked.:scowl:
