Far from unobtanium, there's so many of em around that they're almost easier to come by than some newer small brands pedals that are NOT discontinued, but still:
Boss FZ-2, RV-3, HM-2, OC-2, PS-3, DD-5,...
There's three Boss master pieces I don't have to list anymore thanks to the waza series
Other than that, there's a couple sweet eqd pedals that were recently dropped from their catalogue.
Also, in the uber cheap category: Ibanez DE-7.

I guess my ss/bs Blargg-o-tron-o-tron and Dimehead PLL are like that. Blarggs pop up every once in awhile and typically don't go too much and there's a few PLLs now, but the Dimehead is relatively small.

Pretty sure that falls under unobtanium?
Although I actually have no idea because I'm not a huge delay person so I've never looked into it.

Always obtainable but for huge prices that I don't think are worth it. Regret selling my old one (that I bought for 1/3 what they're on eBay for now and that was only 5 or 6 years ago) but to me it wasn't worth what people are charging now.

Didn't appreciate how gnarly the second voice was when I traded it away, wish I hadn't. Never tied any mellowtone stuff. Should check those out.

I've let go of a couple wolf computers before and am keeping the one I have now. Too many good times with that pedal, and I actually really appreciate it as an overdrive as much as a starved oscillating fuzz.
To add one to the list, I always have my Sparkle Motion by smallsound/bigsound on my board. It interacts so well with any dirt pedal going into it, be it fine tuning fuzzes, or a way to shift yourself into a different place in the mix.

As mentioned above, Boss PS-3. Super versatile and it does much more than mode 7 (and even mode 7 has quite a few interesting settings).
Also, very different but Clavia Nord MicroModular. Once you program your patches in it you have a small mobile box of marvels that has 99 slots of fx/processing/synth/whatever. Versatile as fuck and super useful.

Most of what I use seems to fit in that category.
Digitech RDS rack delays, Digi Time Bender, Roland Bee Baa, Boss GL-100 rackmount, Alesis Quadraverb+, Lexicon Vortex, Roland Space Echo (actual tape), Boss ME-6B (the synth filters are to die for, they really are)....
The list goes on.

I regret selling mine fairly often.

I wish I didnt sell the one I got from you many moons ago. Since then ive owned about 3 different versions of the DMM. Currently own the reissue big box.
I used to think the supermoon chrome was a discontinued product, but it seems like 50 or so are released whenever mrblack feels like it throughout the year (always black friday). Clenching onto mine regardless.

I say meh to it all. I've flipped so many pedals that were "omg this is no longer made" and could care less. Anything is replaceable for me. I could sell my entire board and fill it with new shit and be fine.
That being said
WATA Fuzz
hah
