I'd get a delay. You can do a lot with them to alter your sound and you'll get good sound effecting bang for your buck if you will. They can be a lot of fun! And very versatile. Maybe start with a Boss DDx or the Digitech Digidelay.

Otherwise a good overdrive (depending on your amp). I'd recommend a Barber Direct Drive as certainly a great place to start for overdrive. It does Tube Screamer plus a whole lot more besides. Or a Bad Monkey, people seem to rave about them and they're cheap but good.

Wah wahs are a radically effecting effect - and again a lot of fun.

Funnily enough as I got more experienced with pedals I found the ones that initially (well, when I first started out with effects anyway... ) appeared to do the least were the ones that had the most merit. Things like compression (especially - my favourite effect), boost, and mild delays.
