What was your first pedal?

Crappy Zoom multifx pedal. It was so crappy that i thought i don't want to use pedals. But then i got Tech21 vt, a big muff and a cry baby and from there the way to two pedal boards was short...
 
I bought my first pedal for guitar, a Fuzz Face 1979-80'ish.
I paid $30 or so for it. I sold it last year for $400.

The first pedal I bought for bass was a Boss BF-2 in 1982 or 83, it's still on my pedal board.
