First electric - what effect pedals are de rigueur?

Hi all,

I'm enjoying this guitar playings so much, I'm going to treat myself to an electric - nothing fancy or expensive - I'm sticking to the $100 rule (well, it's about $140 which is close enough for me).

I can get a kit that comes with an 8w practice amp which has gain, volume and tone. The guitar has a tremolo bridge, 3 single coil pickups, 1 volume and 2 tone controls and 5-way selector (what's that?)

I'll probably ask some more questions once I've got the kit, but while I'm ordering, what effect pedals do you guys and gals recommend I get - for a beginner, that is...

Thanks.

Rock on!
