I much preferred the Small Stones to the MXRs, and of this bunch have ultimately kept only my Russian SS which still gets used very rarely. Whetstone has a ton of options I didn't use enough to justify the real estate, and even when I could get it dialed in it never really knocked me over tone-wise. I was so excited when Blackout released the Sibling...but found pretty quickly it's got this midrange voice I was never happy with. The Moog is amazing--to have exp pedal control over all those parameters is the tits. The depth and LUSH are just crazy. It's also huge and so powerful it actually takes over a lot of your signal--a dedicated mix control would make this the end-all, but for me it ended up being a great studio tool that was just too much to live on my pedalboard.
So the most useful and versatile have been the Grand Orbiter and Quasar. My grey V1 Orbiter seems a bit more aggressive sounding than the red V2 I had. Both platforms have a huge range in sounds and great control over parameters. Although the Quasar seems to cut through a live mix a bit better, both pedals can be dialed in to be subtle or mind-melting.

Isn't drooling by its very nature retarded?
