[behndy]

ProCo Rat II. Still got the little bugger

holy crap behndy, you ARE les!

lol. no, he can PLAY. i just make noise.

i DID have a huge crush on him and his styles tho. comes from growing up like 10 blocks from where he did. so many Primus shows in my youth. so... many...

i still get pissed when an interview says he's from Oakland or Richmond. EL SOB FOR LIFE YO!!!

...... actually El Sobrante sucks. don't wanna rep it.

My first pedal was a vintage Mu-tron III.

 

[Jared Lash]

Some of us guys from jazz band in HS had a little combo we would gig with from time to time. The drummer/bandleader/owner of the van used to run some chorus and/or reverb on my upright at times.

The first actual pedals I bought were in college and both Boss - an OC-2 and a used Slow Gear. I believe I bought them at the same time.

 

[My name is Mudd]

a lot of ds-1's and mt-2's

A fair number of ODB-3's also...must be a right of passage or something. I had one for about three weeks.

EL SOB FOR LIFE YO!!!

I bought gas at the El Sobrante Shell once...pump #2 had "Les wuz here!" scribbled on it.

Besides my TU-2, it was an ODB-3.

[Corey Y]

Boss Blues Driver, for Christmas when I was about 17. "Surely this will make me sound like B.B. King", I thought to myself. Never used pedals for bass until a few years ago. First one I bought specifically for bass was still a guitar pedal, DOD 250 Overdrive.

 

[Genericbassname]

ODB-3. It's still on my board actually, I use it for a more gainy/trebly distortion. It's the first thing coming off when I finally get the money to replace/add things to my board.

 

[Dash Rantic]

DigiTech Bass Synth Wah. Still have the lil' bugger, it's not perfect but still love the versatility.

[5StringBlues]

Sometime in the mid 80's.

 

[Crystalman85]

My first mulit-effects processor/amp modeler was a line 6 bass pod. my first stomp box was a digitech xbd bass overdrive/distortion pedal.

 

[CaptainWampum]

Electro Harmonix Metal Muff. Still use it from time to time.

 

[jp58]

No pedals for me.

 

[flygirafda3]

I asked for a boss odb-3 and an aphex punch factory for christmas when I first started playing. 4 years later I still love the combo, even after trying others, and the punch factory is almost always on, looks like I got lucky and made a good decision.

 

[ODST 032]

Digitech BSW.

me too, that and a behringer super fuzz. both amazing when used together.
