Do you remember your first (or second) pedal?

[Swordfishtrombone]

First was a First Act distortion that I was given. Back when I still had my Peavey TNT100, I was able to do a pretty good job of Kyuss-y styled tones with the tone at like 4-5 and dirt at 5. I still use it for boosting my muff into chaotic, noisy, easiest feedback ever territory.

First one was the joyo voodoo octave fuzz. Love the sound of palm mutes with the octave engaged on that thing.

Crybaby

Danelectro metal fab tone thing

DOD Classic Fuzz. I remember thinking it sounded really shitty at the time, but I was like 13, so what did I know...

Now I wish I still had it, because of course I wonder if it sounds good-shitty.

2nd pedal was a DOD Envelope Filter, which I still have. It's definitely just regular-shitty.

Ibanez MS10 Metal Charger in 91 or 92. i loved the punch knob: made my Ross practice Amp really Bassy and "chucka".
I think the second one was a Cry Baby wah in 93.
In 94 i bought a MKIV sola sound tone bender for 70 marks. My fucking Brother may still have this somewhere...

Electro-Harmonix Little Big Muff. Bought it in 2006 or something like that.

My second pedal was a delay of some sort. I think it was a Rocktek I got used for like 10€. Then I got an MXR ZW44 to stack on the Big Muff and produce massive amounts of noise...

Behringer Bass Synth was my first; it was terrible... it has eleven different settings but only two sounds as far as I can tell... and it ignores the top three strings on my guitar. It has now died, but it has a crappy plastic case so I can't even use its corpse to make something better with. The second was a Joyo Analogue Chorus; also dreadful - huge volume drop as soon as it was engaged and very, very mild chorus (I'm not a fan of subtle pedals). I later modded it to create some excellent oscillations that I thought were great... and then ten minutes later it disagreed with me and died. Luckily the huge metal box it came in has become the home to a much better fuzz pedal that I built myself; so that makes Joyo better than Behringer in my opinion.

boss ME-50. I remember going through all the effects (with everything maxed out) and thinking 'how is anything of this usable?' it took me a while before I twisted some knobs.. ended up getting another from my friend later down the road and started makin noise

[Bad-Samaritan]

Bought a ODB-3 and a Bass Crybaby back when I first started playing bass at 13-14. I still have them and use them to this day.

I got an LM308 RAT on Craigslist for $40. It was all downhill from there.

[casecandy]

First was an Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi, one of the wooden box ones from the late '90s. Bought it new in 2003! Around $100 CAD

Second one, a Danelectro Back Talk Reverse Delay, was $140, and was my favourite pedal. Incredible build quality. Unfortch it was "borrowed" by my brother and lost to the sands of time.

I still have the Muff, it got pissed on by two separate cats and needs a little soldering, but in theory would work!

First pedal was a Danelectro French Toast in the mid-late 90s.

Second was a NYC Big Muff in 2001 or so.

[dreambat]

A Boss ODB-3 that my grandpappy bought me when I was a young'n. It was later stolen. Never did get much use out of it... but would've been nice to hold onto for the nostalgia.

[ponyteeth]

First pedal I bought was an Ibanez Soundtank "power lead" which i played the shit out of and eventually it finally died, after many repairs. The second was an old Ampeg Phazzer that I bought for $30 and ended up trading for something that was, more than likely, stupid.

It was a Danelctro Fab Tone back in like 1998. It was a totally metal one and cost me 70 bucks. I remember being so fucking happy at the way it sounded with my Tele. I actually gave that pedal to a friend and he's used it for the past decade now. Absolutely loves it. It's great! I wouldn't use it on bass though. hahah
