What Was Your First Guitar Pedal?

When I first go into guitar I had a multi FX by Zoom. I then moved onto to individual pedals and I am currently back with multi FX by way of amp modellers!

Mine was a basic distortion pedal. It completely changed how fun practising felt because suddenly I could sound closer to the songs I liked.

I started with a delay pedal because I loved atmospheric guitar sounds. Probably not the most practical first pedal, but it kept me inspired.

Mine was a Japanese Fuzz/Wah from the late 60’s. Linear Conchord amp. Shaftesbury Rickenbacker guitar.
Soon swapped that for a real Arbiter Fuzz Face and a Vox Wah. Marshall stack. Fender Strat.
Echoplex came next, and I never looked back.
