Mine:

Still have it and wont sell it ever, only worth a few pence now anyways. Still like it for what it is.

I think it came from Grotts Guitars in Newcastle back in the day. Think it was the same day the owners were out of their tree on whatever and offered a Flying V for a stupid small sum. I remember my Dad talking about that a few times. Quite a few years later I bartered on a Jagstang for £250 which was a great deal too.

Miss those days.

What was your first effects pedal ?

Does a wah count?

If so, a limited edition white Crybaby. Sold it to Fran for £25 a while ago. Hated it.



Otherwise, real pedal, it would be a Boss OS2 - FUCK YEAH!



I am not attached to things I guess. Look at my big res images that are poor quality though. Yeah...

mine was my DD-3, got it when i was 15 from a shop in london. a guy behind the counter in one of the shops we visited tried to pick a fight with me for some reason because i didn't know the respective definitions of echo and delay. i wonder if he ever made a connection between that incident and his front window getting caved in the following week.

Mine was a zoom 606. I have no idea if it was any good, but I could only ever get it to sound terrible.

Ibanez Soundtank Slam Punk. Followed by a black big box Russian Big Muff.

I expect a lot of DS-1 posts here as y'all fucking KurdtZ kids.

Mine was a Cruze Flanger. Cruze were like Daphon or something back in the day, plastic pedals based on Boss but with terrible bypass. I bought a Flanger because I thought it was weird and had read somewhere that Robert Smith and The Chameleons used them. About the same time I bought an old Carlsbro Echo Unit which was larger than an Orange TT, that was actually decent, but the Flanger got lost after being spray painted bottle green with Halfords left overs we had used on a BMX

DS-1 was my second pedal

Incidently, my friend sprayed his WEM Copycat with the same rattle can
We were young and knew no better.

My dad bought me this Bespeco Weeper when I was probably about 11. Its shit.

Hell yeah. My first reputable brand pedal was a Dunlop Wah, almost cost me a weeks wages, but Spacemen 3 used them so it had to be done.
I still have your old Wah btw, love it.

Wow, white standard crybaby ? I want it !!!

Meh, keep it in the family if you ever sell but I would be interested in having it back for old time's sake if you did.

Wah's aren't really my thing to be honest. It's not like I've tried other ones that have blown it out the water or anything.

Got it used in probably 1998, maybe 1997 (missing the knobs), still using it.

This green-labelled fella. I've never owned a Tube Screamer since.

loved it.

Rocktek Chorus - hell yeah. Loved it at the time. Gave it to my bass player after I got my Zoom 707

Boss TU2. I still have it and bought a second one for my smaller pedal board.

Vox wah, was a massive Hendrix fan in the earliest days of my guitar playing and the intro to voodoo chile was one of the first things I ever learned/practiced on guitar so it became necessary. Especially after I saw this pic.



In my first band I painted all the lettering/knob pointers/switches on all my pedals with glow in the dark paint so I could see the board better onstage... still love seeing the green alien VOX logo looking at me when I get up to take a piss in the middle of the night.

Aside from the od my friend built, a Nova Repeater. Sounded great, but I sold it later on in order to get an M9.
