What was your first pedal?

[vegas532]

Mesa V-Twin preamp pedal, if memory serves me correctly.

 

[Callum_Carcass]

Ashdown Lomenzo Hyperdrive pedal. November 2008 if memory serves me well. Still got it and still use it.

Zoom 506 back in freshman year of college (1997). But I don't like to count multi's. Got a Big Muff the next year. That was my real first.

 

[CC7]

Boss OC-2, 20+? years ago, still use it.

errrr.. . wasn't there an thread exactly like this a coupla weeks ago ? anyhoo.... my first effect is a mid 70's fuzz thing from EHX. Doesn't really qualify as a pedal, but it fuzzed !

ibanez digital flanger (the one with pac-man-esque knobs).... sometime in the 80's.

 

[Chef FourString]

Went to DiscoFreq's DB to have a peek... ****, was that already 30 years ago ?

 

[BioDriver]

Boss CEB-2.

 

[robbieaz62]

A Crybaby in '79 or '80. I still have it and it still works.

 

[kevteop]

DOD FX25 in about 1991. I've had three of them now.

I still have an old DOD in the loft, I think it's a keyed gate / bypass loop thing, bit too slow to be useful unfortunately, and not very adjustable (unless it's broken...!).

boss tu-2

 

[slaps76]

Bought as a package deal off craigslist couple years ago- Boss ODB3, MXR Phase 90, and Boss Chorus. Sold the OD, still use the latter two.

 

[drewkelly]

i might be the only person here to have a DHA VT-2 bass as my first pedal. i played for a LONG time without any pedals... what was i thinking!?

 

[Wud]

Mine was a Boss PS-2 Pitch Shifter/Delay.
Still have the old blue beast.

 

[ExaltBass]

My 1st two are a Mutron III (Fall '75) - still have it - heavily modded, by our genius keyboardist, and wired for 'stereo' like for Ric-O-Sound. The bridge is pup effected and neck pup straight - needs a tune up... and a MXR Noise Gate Line Driver (Winter '76)... still have it too - also modded with a battery on-off switch. Bought it for a 'string machine' to shut-it-up between notes.

 

[j0616bass]

Boss heavy metal pedal. Got it for my birthday in 1991. Failed miserably at getting that cliff burton tone I was looking for, but made enough noise that satisfied my 16 year old self!

 

[ripman3]

I got my first two pedals for my birthday a few years back. The Digitech Bass Synth Wah and the BOSS ODB-3.

 

[cataract]

Boss TU-2.

 

[warwick.hoy]

Boss GE-7B
