If the question was “what effects does a beginner need?” then (in order of usefulness) Tuner, Overdrive, Looper (as a learning aid), followed by Reverb, Wah, Chorus, Delay. At this point separate pedals will have cost more than a new MultiFX, let alone a secondhand one, which is a lesson in itself; and I refer you back to the earlier answer.

Yeah it’s that kind of “reference” approach I’m wanting to impart - kind of “here are the honest to goodness basics - you can cover vast ground by how you use them together” kind of thing.
Multifx is easy - as is the tech approach - they had them bussing reverb in Logic at school by 11yo - but a handful of boxes of joy...

One more suggestion that seems to have been missed is Boss GE-7 (or other equivalent EQ pedal). Very versatile pedal once you know how to use it, and will also help teach a beginner about how important understanding EQ'ing is for getting the sound you really want.
The mooer and little bear copies are also good cheap options if working to a budget.
I see a lot of light to mid type overdrives being suggested.
If hes into Mastodon might not be the best option.
You know the multi-FX thing? I can only get on with multi-FX units because I know a bit about how real pedals and amps work.
Also, I probably have some stuff kicking about that you can have on long term loan if useful? Certainly a Boss Chorus and DS2.
