Re: Your very first pedal

I think mine was one of the $10 FAB pedals from Danelectro, maybe the flanger? I can't remember for sure

TS9 circa 1983. Tried every distortion in the place...many pedals....drove the old man who owned the store up the wall...but that's OK....he was cheap prick. I had NO idea about pedals at that time...just knew you stomped on 'em and they did "stuff". I still feel a bit of pride that my young and inexperienced ears picked out THE distortion pedal.

It was some sort of Boss Chorus. It did do Andy Summers and Alex Lifeson really well. It might have been stereo. Though I only ever used it through one amp.

Korg AX1G multi effects processor. Still have it, but haven't plugged into it for a few years.

Re: Your very first pedal

My first pedal was a beat up EHX Small Clone purchased in 2000, and it was either an original or an early reissue. I kind of wish I hadn't sold it because I've played lots of Small Clones since then and none of them sounded anywhere near as good.

Re: Your very first pedal

My first was a D.O.D distortion pedal I bought in '85. I had to have a distortion pedal to play Maiden and Priest, right? Only, I didn't know that you don't run a pedal with the amps distortion cranked. Peavey Audition 20. So it sounded like crap, and I didn't use it for nearly 3 years until a friend showed me that it sounded a lot better through a cleaner amp setting.

Re: Your very first pedal



Perhaps not surprisingly, I never used it - was far more interested in my buddy's BOSS Heavy Metal pedal.

Mine was a Next Distortion X. The 'Wave' control let you specify what 'era' of distortion that was popular. You could set it to your birthday.

MXR Distortion +, 1980, no LED or AC, just battery powered. Two knobs of fun, would drive my parents crazy with that thing.......

Re: Your very first pedal

I think I had a Boss CE-3, back in the 80s. I don't use chorus any more, but when I think of "chorus" that's the sound I think of.
