But seriously, I love reverbs and ugly sounding distortions

I like stuff that makes annoying crazy noise.

Definitely dirt and delay. All I use anymore is delay, dirt, and reverb. Reverb is easy (imo) to find one or two you like and be happy. Dirt and delay I am forever flipping and trying new things.

Reverb, but I mean like any reflections or delays or resonant spaces. I wish my job was recording IR.

Somewhat this.
I think delay, but up until last year or so I've always had a feeling that a delay pedal is a "big purchase", where as fuzz and dirt isn't a big deal, so I end up with 1-3 delays and 10 dirts, even tho the dirt is just a "buy it to try it" and the delay is what I was hoping I could buy.
So I got rid of that thought and now I've got more delays than I know what to do with it, good ones too. Afraid the red panda tensor is gonna have me buying their 3rd delay

Are you going to get a DOD Rubberneck?

The only thing I can see on it that the limbo doesn't have is a gain knob, and there's lots the limbo has (check out that modulation) that the rubberneck doesn't.
At this point all of the features on the rubberneck should be standard for 250$, whether it's analog, pt2399 or purely digital, unless it's some crazy-idea delay.
Hmm Ill have to check out the Limbo 3.

All things dirt, mainly fuzz, for 20 years now. I've finally started to just build them myself which is an addiction in itself. In the last few months I've built clones of a superfuzz, companion, meatheads, fuzzfaces, fuzzrong, mini, megalith, speaker cranker, scarab deluxe, bazz fuss, orpheum, and I finished a demo tape last night. I know I'm way late to the party with the demo tape, but fuck, it's amazing! Now I'm starting a clusterfuzz. I dream about transistors, it's a problem.

I'm definitely an octave/pitchshifter junky.
Doesn't matter if they are analog or digital. It's so fun to find the quirks in them all and use them to make synthetic sounds.

Lo-fi shit.
Bitcrushing/sample rate reduction/bias crackling/probably broken but still cool as shit type stuff.
I, especially, love pedals that do that on purpose in a way that's just screwed up enough to sound cool but not so screwed up that it doesn't lend itself to be musical.

The mighty Space Echo and its brethren.
If it's not green and has questionable 70s cosmetics, do not want.

I wanted to say filters but the Q-Tron is the one that will always be on. I do like my Boss FT2 filter though. I love delays and short loopers (Boss DD-5, DD-6, Freeze, Superego, Dr. Sci ILF Delay, Caline Time Space). But mostly I have fuzz. People give them to me. Anything they just don't get is on my floor. The ABsynth (#26 woot) is my baby forever but I have paid for an Algal Bloom and a Phantom Octave. Then have absorbed..ABsynth 5K (more controls but somehow fewer), Basic Audio Zippy (wow), Danelectro Fab distortion (Mogwai), Korg Hard Dist (Rat-ish), Boss DS-1, Metal Zone, and I won a Velcrobot here on ILF. That thing KILLS holy shit. Cuts like a knife. Then I made a point of using only the Line 6 M9 for a minute (turned out to be a month) to see if I could get what I need out of that alone. I could gig with the Tube Distortion. But the Q-Tron emulators are just nothing compared to the real thing. What was the question? Oh yeah the dirt in the M9 is better than people think and I love Fuzz/Filter/Looper.
