Fun thread!
The moog phaser has held the throne the longest and will probably never loose. Its the perfect phaser in every way to me and I can't imagine something else having the number of weird sounfs as it has let alone just standard phasing sounds. Many a lonely nights have I delay-verbed the shit out of my board added phaser and went on a ethereal journey

I've definitely had my Carbon Copy for the longest and plan on keeping it for the foreseeable future, but the EQD Monarch and Diamond Comp are never going anywhere. I use both for both guitar and bass all the time, and the comp is pretty much never off.

My Guyatone Analog delay has been on my board since '05, and has never left, until this weekend. She went up to pedal heaven, God bless her tone robbing, noisy goodness. :cry:

I've had a big box vintage rat for over 20 years. I bought a sovtek bubble font muff around that same time (that was sold last year for a BAT sarcophagus and then some). I think the oldest pedal I have on the board currently is the whetstone phaser (2 years)

Whammy IV. Not the first I acquired, but the last of the original 3 or 4 pedals I ever bought. 2nd place would be EB volume pedal. I'd give them 5 years, give or take.

The pedal I still have that I've had the longest is a Dano French Toast I bought back in the late 90s, but I don't have it on my board anymore since I got a nicer Tone Machine clone, so I guess that doesn't count.

I guess the oldest that's still on one of my boards is my EHX BMS. Since 2006.

Oh yeah, Sherms, you just reminded me. I still have the Devi Aenima I bought back in 2006, and that's still on my second board as well. Not sure whether that was before the BMS or after. That's how I discovered the Devi forum too, I was looking for the sound on Tool's Aenima and googled "aenima distortion pedal", and the Devi was first hit.

In the 3 years of my band the 2nd voice is the lone survivor although I swapped v1 for v2.

Ghost Echo - since I bought it four years ago. It has become bosom friends with my Disaster transport sr. and mf-102, forming a trifecta of permanent fixtures.

not always on the board so kind of cheating, but I guess my dmm since 2011.
