Your very first pedal

Re: Your very first pedal

I believe mine was boss super overdrive and a super chorus. Got them at the same time back in my I love zakk wylde days. I was attempting to rebuild his board for my own.

Your very first pedal

Thomas Organ Cry Baby for $65, which I didn't really need, and they still sold for about $65 for another 15-20 years after that. I still have what's left of it. Somewhere.
 
Re: Your very first pedal

I bought a plain Jane boss ds-1 for my first pedal, I later learned how to mod circuits on the same pedal... I traded it for a boss sd-1
 
Re: Your very first pedal

A few Boss pedals, that I bought from a guy who could not get them to work....
CS-1, Turbo OD, DD-2, CE-2....and some old Boss power supply....
My father checked the supply, cut off the barrel, shortend the two wires from a place that looked like a break, soldered a new barrel on, and we had power and the pedals worked just fine with their daisy chain.
He also took apart the CS-1 and changed one resistor, now it had plenty of volume, same with the Turbo Od.

Used them on my old Dynacord EL-34 equipped tube amp, and a home made cab with two red back Celestion 10" speakers lifted from an ancient cab...one strange thing...thought it was some old PA cab, and these where the midrange speakers...haha
I played like sh!t...but it was a glorious noise to have at 18, after 5 years on an acoustic :)
My old man bought me a music theory book, that I sadly misplaced when I moved to Copenhagen a few years later, after some boring years at highschool.

I have an AX1B (bass version of yours); it's a cool-sounding pedal!

I plugged into it a few days ago and was disappointed to find that the foot switches no longer work. I can change banks, but can't switch between the strings in each bank.

That sucks. I hadn't touched mine in years, and I just plugged it back in a few months ago- worked fine & sounded awesome!

I got my first effect around 1974 (Holy shirt! 40+ years ago!) It was a gizmo that you plugged into your guitar jack, rather than a stomp box on the floor. I didn't really like it hanging there in the way, so I reversed a couple of wires inside so that it could be plugged into the amp input instead. It could get a decent sound with a little EQ tweaking...

DOD 6-band EQ in 1989. Used it to boost my Marshall JCM 800 2203 with brutal results. :cool2:

DOD was quite popular at that time, and the next pedal I bought was a DOD Stereo Chorus. There were no mass marketed $400 boutique pedals in those days, kids!! :omg: Used to be a minor purchase...
