Members Panopticon Posted July 2, 2007 Members Share Posted July 2, 2007 I remember around the time those came out, there was some kid here on HC who was asking about "Xtortion" pedals, saying that he knew Boss made one, but he wanted to know about other companies' "xtortion" pedals. A few people recommended various distortion pedals, but he kept insisting "No, I'm not looking for a distortion pedal, I'm looking for an XTORTION pedal.":D I bought that thing shortly after I started playing guitar. I bought a Squier fat strat(which was a really cool guitar), and that Frontman 15, but I just remember wanting to palm mute, so i wanted to get really distorted sounds.After my friend busted his metal zone, i thought that i wanted to try something different. So, I bought that xtortion. I was like 12 years old, and i didnt even play it. It looked and sounded {censored}ing metal, and I wanted metal.It was ok until i actually started learning to play and listening to guitar tones.

Members EvilSoup Posted July 2, 2007 Members Share Posted July 2, 2007 Yamaha DG Stomp. Then a Boss V-Wah. I don't have either anymore, I traded them both for a Zvex Fuzz Factory which I traded away for other things. I still have the DG Stomp manual under my bed though.

Members Sutto Posted July 2, 2007 Members Share Posted July 2, 2007 My first pedal-like purchase was a Digitech RP200A. My first actual pedal was a Boss DS-1. I don't have either of them anymore, although I wish I'd hung on to the DS-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members willyemerald Posted July 2, 2007 Members Share Posted July 2, 2007 this old fender wah/fuzz/volume that I bought in a pawn shop in the 70's. It pivoted up and down and the top could be spun sideways for different sounds. It got hung up and I took it apart to clean it and it had long blond hair wound around the moving parts, like 3 foot long strands of hair. I envisioned some guy going "wow man my hair is tangled up in my wah wah. bummer man." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ocnor Posted July 2, 2007 Members Share Posted July 2, 2007 DOD Flanger 670. Bought it around 1981 along with a Memory Man. I still have the DOD but sold the Memory Man because they sound {censored}ty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SkullCap Posted July 2, 2007 Members Share Posted July 2, 2007 I don't remember my 1st pedal but it had to be some piece of crap, cheap ass distortion, it had to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eye_Of_The_Liger Posted July 2, 2007 Members Share Posted July 2, 2007 My first two pedals ever were the Studio Series Chorus and Distortion pedals (actually the distortion link is for Loco Box, but it's essentially the exact same pedal as my Studio Series). The distortion is meh, but when Andy Summers isn't touring, he lives in the chorus pedal. I borrowed them indefinitely from an old friend of mine like 11 years ago, and I still have them. They each have a sticker with his old address on it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
