i think if i was going to reduce it to a core of stuff it'd be:

Distortion+
Algal Bloom
RV-3
tremolo
DiscumBOBulator
TC SCF
Ghost Echo

the D+ is my Ur-dirt box i've played since the early 80s; the Bloom will get me at least close to most everything else. the RV-3 is limited, but easily tweakable, does what it does well and is adaptable to a wide variety of formats. i already talked about the EMMA. some people hate the SCF, but i love it because of the lack of coloration and 80s cleanliness others despise...it goes wonderfully after everything else but before reverb. and i just adore the Ghost Echo, which i never turn off, only adjust...i even keep it on when i use the spring reverb on the Laney now.

Man.....I'll sit here and say these are my "staying" pedals....but that changes so fast....like the Faye Sing was a pedal I thought would always stay. Then the Faye's Her came out...anyways, here's my best attempt.

Timeline
Badger Schism (I don't think parallel loopers get enough love)
The IE Polytope is dope
Mountainking Megalith can choke a cheetah's dick

I hesitate to put the Prunes & Custard on here...as it's a one trick pony. But...eh....I love it. If something came out that sounded like it but did other things, I would jump all over it.
