DOD Flashback Fuzz haha. I got it almost 10 years ago and still have it. For what reason, I do not know.

Digitech Death Metal...still have it, but I don't use it for anything.

Dude so many people are lucky having muffs for their first pedal.

mine was a multi-fx... behringer v-amp2

long gone. it didn't really stay very long.

No, I traded it ...

...for one of these



(and no, I've long since gotten rid of the evidence.

Rat II

recently sold it!

METAL ZONE

Long gone.

Ibanez FZ5 60's fuzz. Lasted until I started to get actual 60's fuzzes.

Devnul's Muff for HM trade makes me so sad every time I hear it

My first pedal was a Big Muff (black russian) I got from a friend.
Sold it.

Purchased together were a DOD chorus which is long gone and a Boss DD-5, which I still use all the time. I bought it new more than 15 years ago. Here's a demo of the sample/hold with an Algal Bloom. I posted this somewhere else but I think it got lost in the shuffle.

Wow, I'm surprised no one had the Boss DS-1 as their first. It's not like you can claim that you new better, because some of those pedals are pretty nasty. Well the DS-1 was my first, and it is long gone. I do still have my 2nd pedal, which is a Digiverb. I got it for Christmas from my girlfriend at the time when they first came out. The pedal is broken... kind of ironic now that I think about it.

Dev, my man. That is a sad, sad story. Since I live in Nashville I feel it is my duty to pitch that story as a song idea to a country music writer. Now that's a country song I would be able to relate to. I'll even split the royalties with you.

my first pedal was a late-70s block-logo MXR Distortion+ which i bought used back around 1983. i still have it, and use it frequently. it's the first box in the distortion section of my board, where it does a nice ugly compressed Neil Young/Jerry Garcia Fender-ish thing at my typical setting of ~40% drive and excels at driving additional fuzzes. it may not be the most versatile thing in the world settings-wise, but the things it does well suit a multitude of applications...there's a reason why everybody from Bob Mould to Randy Rhodes used to use them.

First pedal I bought was an EHX Bass Big Muff Pi.
I gave it to my guitar player buddy after getting some real fuzz. Those things sounds terrible.

i love it for my noise as well...

My first pedal, in 1994ish, was a nasty bazz fuss / Fuzz Face hybrid built for my needs by a then band friend of mine, housed in a hubcap of an old Datsun The guy also built these Sundown / Marshall style tube preamp/overdrive units for my friends but gave up in a few years.

Combined with the old Marshall guv'nor and an all tube amp it sure was fucking heavy. I took it to him for repair after some five years of service and he never returned it me again which is a damn shame. And the Guv'nor got stolen from stage after an apparently great sounding gig, but that's another story.
