Aria Flanger, still got it. Still perfects the 'Come as you are' sound in my teenage mind.

What was yours ?

Boss DS-1, which I still have.

Technically it was an HF-2 but there's a somewhat embarrassing story behind that, which I can't be arsed typing out on my phone.

long gone, though it had a decent run of seven or eight years:

Morley Wah. Just bought another from Nick.

DS-2. Still have it. Then a DOD Ice Pick Chorus. That was all I really needed for to do my grunges.

I had a zoom 606 multi fx. It sounded pretty rough but that was probably because I had no idea how it worked at the time.

Dod fx52 classic fuzz & an old fuzz wah which looked like a lot like this

All throughout high school it was just guitar into amp with a channel footswitch. I got one of these the summer after I graduated. Gamechanger.

Admittedly not a pedal, but nonetheless my first FX unit for guitar. Decent digital chorus and flanging.

DOD PDS Delay, bought off a mate for 20 or 30 bar, still on my board. Got the switches replaced last year and it works great.

Vox Wah. I got a DS-1 two years later. Officially the longest amount of time I've spent between new pedals.

The DS-1 was beat to shit in a used shop but it cost me about $50 in saved up allowance, DS-1s weren't actually super-cheap at retail back then like they are now, they were priced more moderately Bossy. That coulda been a Super Nintendo cartridge, but I FUCKED UP.

Boss SD-2. Bought a bass amp instead of a guitar one and had clean only for the first while until this dude came along.

My first pedal was also a DS-1. I sold it for $20.

How many cigs did you get for it?

Danelectro French Toast.

It warped my fragile little mind.

ekwatts · Post by **ekwatts** » Fri Aug 15, 2014 8:10 am

Actually... not sure now. It might have been a Digitech RP300, or whatever the equivalent was back in 2000. Hmm. I got the Danelectro U2 in 2000 though I'd been playing for years before that on my brothers parts guitar and I'm fairly certain my "setup", such as it was, was a Dano French Toast with a Peavey Bandit along with the parts guitar but that other stuff could have come later. Oh well.
