Boss ME-30 multieffect, which is pretty much a POS tone-sucker with about a third of the presets producing completely unusable tones.
First single pedal was an MXR Distortion+.

MXR 2000 series Distortion +
(circa 1981-82 when I got it...)

I don't remember which came first. It was either a PAiA Axe Grinder kit that my Dad helped me build....
Or a Dynacord Echocord...

Dano Cool Cat Chorus... weighed a metric ton, but sounded great!

Bad Monkey then Fish N Chips. That's all I have got.

An Akai Overdrive. Back in December for ~$19.

It was either an MXR Phase 90 or an Echoplex. It may have been the Echoplex, because I got it really cheap, and even then I got ripped off, because I could never get the **bleep** thing to work.

A Bad Monkey as suggested by this forum when I 1st joined. I thought I didn't like it but honestly I didn't give it a chance or I did but was using with the wrong kind of amp,I had a clean amp with no gain to it.

Boss DS-1 and Boss Flanger. Bought in Atlanta in 1981.

Boss SD-1 - Still have it.
Before then i got given a marshall shredmaster (one of the greatest pedals ever made) and a BOSS CS-4.

Ibanez Soundtank Powerlead. I still have it somewhere. I honestly used it more for the crunchy tone it had for rhythm than for soloing. When I bought a new amp, I made sure it sounded like that pedal.

Rocktek overdrive pedal. At the time I thought it was a steal... Still have it just for the nostalgia
The first pedal I got was a Rocktek Compressor in the late '90s. I still have it

When I bought my first guitar (second-hand), part of the deal was a bunch of pedals the seller wanted to get rid of. They were Boss HM-2, Boss BF-2, Boss CS-1 and Ibanez OD2. I mostly used the Boss HM-2
... hey, back then, I was a kid in the 80ies.
