My first pedal.....

[steviejr92]

Just digging through some old stuff and i just found my very first pedal that i bought! Still has the original battery and surprisingly there isnt any corrosion on it. Im pretty sure its digital and i remember this being not all that great but i dug it at the time haha

Do any of you still own your first pedal? If so put up a pic!

I wish! For me it was an early 80s mxr distortion `+.

 

[steviejr92]

I’ve yet to build an original MXR distortion plus! I think you just gave me something to breadboard I know it’s a great modding platform!

First bought pedal EHX Little Big Muff. First built pedal EHX LPB1 clone.

 

[steviejr92]

My second pedal ever was a big muff pi you cant go wrong with Muff

 

[fontoponto]

That means that a Muff is pretty well known

 

[steviejr92]

Oh for sure! What do you think is more popular the MXR distortion or the boss DS1?

 

[fontoponto]

MXR Dist+? I bought it twice.

 

[steviejr92]

I think you're right!

My buddy and I bought an Arion Distortion pedal and we wrote the most basic metal song ever! Do not remember what happened to it.

I can relate, the time between my first pedal and my 2nd was around 10 years as well. Then i got into DIY pretty much right after that lol

DOD FX58 Metal Maniac.

Long gone. Kinda wish I’d kept it.

 

[steviejr92]

Never heard of it! Now im curious

I think my first pedal was a Dan-O-Wah

After that, it was either a Fab Tone or a Grunge

 

[Diynot]

I was given a few pedals before it (notably a Grunge pedal was the first), but my first bought pedal was an EHX Deluxe Memory Boy. Won it on an eBay auction. You should crack the rock distortion open and post up a gut shot
