A very gnarly fuzzbox, designed & built by an electronics wizard friend of mine in high school, in about 1967. Followed by a Maestro Ring Modulator in 1971.

Back in early 1987, it was either an Arion Parametric EQ (after reading a Zappa interview in GP talking about parametrics), or a Boss CE2 Chorus (which I still have & use). Pretty sure it was the EQ first, followed shortly by the chorus. I don't have the EQ any more as the wiring to the battery went bad & I was too stupid to rewire/replace at the time.

Played for years just going straight to the amp, then a friend gave me two DOD pedals he didn't want anymore; an FX 60 Stereo Chorus and an FX 56 American Metal...I still have them.
Though I've picked up a few more over the years, mostly EHX, I still only use them sparingly. The one that sees the most use is a Fulltone OCD.
I do have an Ernie Ball volume pedal that gets used all the time, if you wanna count that...

Mine was a Line6 ToneCore with several modules- I don't remember which- followed by a couple more. I now have all but a couple of the modules.

Very early Ibanez Tube Screamer, I probably gave it away, I never liked it much. For the longest time I never used any pedals, then in the mid 80's I went pedal and guitar to MIDI and synth crazy, now I do use some pedals, only tube overdrive pedals, a Boss Blues driver for boost and tone control for my Strat Clone, and one Digitech Reverb pedal.
