What was your first pedal?

[mynameisjack2]

Aguilar TLC

I asked for a compressor for my birthday, apparently my parents researched, because they originally had ordered a Markbass, but then it wouldn't ship for several months after, and so, I got the Aguilar. I still use it all the time. (it's never off...)

 

[Jon Moody]

A DOD 7 band eq. I used to use it with my string bass as a preamp (before they really started making specific pres). From there, I got a Boss Bass Chorus and Bass Distortion. Sold them all for one of the first Zoom multi-effect pedals. Used that a LOT.

 

[Hector_G]

DOD Classic Fuzz.

I have finally discovered how to properly use it years and years later and now have it on my board.

 

[Scorn]

were they worth the 30 bucks?

Yeah they go alright! I got my hands on the Digital Delay and the Distortion pedal, Used them up until 6 months ago where i replaced them with a Boss ODB-3 and DD7. They didnt add much to the bottom end but a guitarist friend got the same pedals and swears by them.

Plastic casing, Come with free 9V battery, 9V input for pedal chain, they worth every cent for $30

Seriously? Run down to the store for a gallon of milk, some butter, and a chorus pedal? Wow...

I was surprised when i saw them in a catalog. They sell em over here once ever 12 months but sell out fast. Last sale they had a phaser pedal which ill try to grab one next time they go on sale.

My first pedal was a cheap knock-off of a Big Muff Pi that was labled "Gilsonite Fuzz" (Gilsonite was the name of the music store in Nanuet NY where I bought it in 1974.)

 

[Matt Dean]

Boss Chorus (mid 70s).

[GrantStuff]

Digitech BP-80

 

[Waterpilot]

Korg Pitchblack. If that doesn't count the it was the BOSS ODB-3.

 

[metalinthenight]

An EHX Bass Big Muff Pi and a Korg Pitchblack+

 

[Reaper Man]

not including my tuner.

First pedal I got was the MXR M288 BOD, shortly thereafter, 3 Leaf Groove Regulator

 

[kxt]

i was 13, played guitar (in a very loose and generous sense of the word "played"), and thought this was the greatest sounding distortion of all time.

 

[rob_thebassman]

boss ODB 3, in my opinion not the best pedal to start with or own period

 

[Hutzbordello]

boss odb-3 last xmas

 

[Hippos Melas]

CEB-3! Bought it right here off of Tommy G. on TalkBass. Unbeatable price, ridiculously fast delivery, pedal is in great condition. I have a small obsession with using chorus with...well, just about everything.

 

[mauerkraut_]

Korg pitchblack tuner. Gotta be in tune first. Then... Fulltone MOSFET FD 2(sold and now use Bass Drive)

 

[BassMonstrum]

Boss Metal Zone in the mid 90's...
