I have an odd collection of boring keepers. Just shit I've had forever and still play all the time. A lot of "boutique" pedals just come and go compared to these which have never left my board.

Digitech Whammy Re-Ish
MXR Micro Amp
Ibanez DL5 Delay
Electro Harmonix Nano Small Stone
DOD FX-75B Stereo Flanger

Newer keepers:

EQD Dirt Transmitter
Line 6 FM4 & DL4
EHX Ring Thing

Yeah, I believe that's because some of these are simply too boring to have good enough exchange rate to get to the circulation :lol:

sometimes it's the boring stuff that just works. everybody goes "meh" at the Distortion+, but i'm telling you, it's my Swiss Army Knife. i couldn't have spent more than $35 for it used back c. 1983, and it's more pivotal to my sound than all the $100-$250+ fuzzes i've bought since. i really should find a second one for backup, in fact.

EH- IC muff/ bass micro synth (see my avatar)

Ive seen some love here for early mxr .

Other than my board, I've got some random things I don't see myself selling like melx2, metal master, ptp LPB2, walco fuzzrite. I suppose the dirt section of my board is really the keepers...all the delay/mod is still commonly available, not that id want to have to get them again.

I love some of the old MXR stuff. Been hunting half-heartedly for a Micro Amp and a script Dist+ for a while
This is my trio: 1974 Dynacomp, 1978 DynaComp (true bypassd + AC tap), and a 1974 Phase 90.

I totally agree. I had a newer version, and I thought it sounded great. I've been on the hunt for a good deal on a vintage D+. Once that happens it will be added to my "Keeper Pedals" list.

the distortion+ is sooo underrated, I cant believe most of the clones out there sell way more expensive than the originals.

That trio you have there devnulljp, you got me drooling...

Skreddy Echo. Longest surviving pedal on my board by far. Get one, everybody!

My Devi Jay Fuji Custom Twin. Torn's Peaker is just too rad and the Noise Floor ZG(bright) is I think the only variation of that particular circuit ever built.

My DBA Super Sonic Fuzz Gun. Not because it's really my best fuzz but because it was my birthday present the first year I was with my girlfriend. She actually introduced me to APTBS and for that I knew she was a keeper :)
