My first effects pedal was...

[BossMicroBRew]

I know there is a lot missing here, but I came up with these on a whim.

[Kody]

You know me-I was an 80s child! Zoom zoom.

Oh, and I can't forget Dad's hand-me-down Tube screamer!

[SteveG]

1010 was my first multieffects, but first ever was a Ratt distortion stompbox that for the time kicked ass!

[Ferryman_1957]

Fuzz Face was my first effects pedal in about 1972. I started playing the electric guitar through an old Bush radio (one of the big wooden-bodied ones) with a pre-amp made by cousin. Kids today have it much easier than we did!

Zoom 505ii was mine shit that could get angus coming out of a squier strat. Its still going strong on the pedal board, though mainly used as a compressor now.

[Greeny]

An italian Bespeco Wah pedal.... and I still have it and use it 

I also have a chorus pedal, very retro flanger and an octaver, but they don't really see the light of day now.

I'll have an Ibanez tubescreamer oneday though. Oh yes, it will be mine

I bought my Fuzz Face in 1974. But my first effects pedal was a Cry Baby wah-wah that I bought in 1970. I still have both of them.

Some cheap Frontline Distortion pedal. It fell apart, stick to boss pedals now as they built to last

A man after my own heart, and probably of a similar age (there's a clue about my age in my user name...). I could never afford a Cry Baby but they are great pedals. Hated the Fuzz Face mind, pperhaps because I only had a fairly crappy amp.

I think it was my Boss DS-1 distortion pedal. You know, the orange one. Its still on my board although these days, i only use it as a boost to my EH Metal Muff.
