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.......

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.

I still have mine. It is a great pedal with a horrible stomp switch. That usually needs to be replaced every few years.

I remember reading somewhere that It's actually a cap that's the wrong value. Change the cap and it works like a champ.
