What is your oldest stomp still in service?

[Securb]

I have a few stomps from the old days that are in mothballs. I want to know which stomp has been a staple on your board even if you had to replace it at some point. What is the pedal that has traveled with you the longest and is still being used?

For me, it would have to be my MXR Distortion +. I still have a ROSS Distortion from the 80's and my original silver Morley and a few others but the D+ still finds its way on my board for certain gigs. I have been playing that pedal since the early 80's.

Big box DMM. Has been on my board for 20 years or so. I've had other delays in addition to it but it's always been there.

I've got 2 TS9's one a few years older than the other but the oldest is about 20 years old.

Thomas Organ Crybaby wah. Bought it used after my original VOX wah was stolen October, 1972. Next would be a trio of DOD FX series pedals, followed by a Boss PH-1r that replaced a Mutron Phasor.

MXR Distortion Plus from the 70's.

Ibanez MS10 Metal Charger. My first pedal, I got it for my birthday in about 1992 when I would have been a sophomore. In college, the switch broke and I replaced it with a random one that I found. Later sold it. Bought another one a few years ago, planning to die with it in my collection.

I've got a Keeley modded Metalzone that I have been using for the last 13 years.

Boss super feedback/distortion.

Re: What is your oldest stomp still in service?

My longest serving pedal is also my oldest pedal (maybe 2nd oldest). I have an amazing sounding early 1980 Boss CE-2 that's been on various boards of mine for roughly a decade.

I also have a block logo MXR Distortion+ that might be older than the CE-2, but I only pull it off the shelf when I'm after that sound.

I have a Cry Baby from the early 80s. It is noisy as hell, and I've had to replace the pot several times. I also owned a Ross phaser from the 70s for quite awhile until someone offered me lots of $ for it. I like the sound of a Small Stone better.

Not really sure if the years they were officially made, but an mxr flanger, one with the ac chord sticking out of it, and a gray dod 250

BOSS OS-2 OVerdrive/Distortion was my first ever pedal, bought around 8/9 years ago when I was 12 or 13 years old. Still in great condition and works perfectly. To be fair, it's not that old hahah

So I have a Boss OD-1 from the 90s, but I've only had it for about 4 years. The pedal I've had the longest is my TS808 reissue that I got in 2005 when I started playing. I'll never let that thing go, even if I am moving on from the TS sound a bit.

This:

But in all fairness, it's not in use and hasn't been in a long, long time. It's just my oldest "pedal". I think I still have it somewhere. I have had a tendency to unload all pedals in the past and ditch the board so I don't really have anything left that is really old. Aside from that LPB, I have a Marshall Jackhammer and an Arion pedal tuner.

My 1984 Boss BF2. Damn thing is older than I am.

O lord those stick out of your ax effects were so awkward. I remember buying a bass boost by some off brand company in the late 70's that was configered like that. I was convinced the thing was going to make my Kent SG and Sears SS amp sound like Iommi.

Technically, I think that one sticks out of your amp rather than your axe.

I bought one in 1993 to play the new hit song "Are you gonna go my way?" after my band peer pressured me Lol
Didn't know what to do with it afterwards.

I use mine instead of a chorus. Something about a very slow set flanger that just sounds more interesting to my ears than a chorus. Then again, what that particular pedal would need is a proper mix knob.

Re: What is your oldest stomp still in service?

Those LPB-1 "pedals" are great. I have lots of clients who still swear by them for cheap boost. They sound best right before the battery croaks.
