Yeah, I feared you might get bored of my mentioning the DMB :lol:
but I love that pedal.
I almost bought a second one just because I stumbled upon a great used price....

I hate moodswings are awesome! Oh, and I usually post when I'm way too tired...

I've really enjoyed my Mini and see it living on my board indefinitely. And though I've mentioned it countless times in other threads, the Maxon AD9 will always be a super fave.

Others on the shortlist... Dr. Sci RRR, EQD Dispatch Master, Space (all verbs, but I like each a whole lot and won't be flipping any of them...)

Crazy Horse has been my #1 fuzz since 2008.

Now that I think about it RE-20 has been my #1 delay since that year too.

Longest standing pedal on my board is probably either the RM-1N or maybe a Rat of some sort. Also the same two pedals that I see as unlikely to be without.

Context, ct5, bitquest, mini

Probably the Boss DD-20. That thing just rules. I've mostly used it as a delay-based looper (and know all its tricks/glitches pretty well), but it's excellent as a normal delay too.

RC Booster and Cusack Screamer Fuzz have gone to every gig since I've owned them, 10+ years now. OG POG + Rotosphere have been to the majority where I'm the only guitar, too, especially jazz duo/trio stuff. I've tried to work in my Pitch Pirate whenever possible, too.

Have you checked out the Bedlam Drive (AFAIK it's a modified OCD)? The one I got from Chank has been pretty rad.

I'd say the one pedal I've consistently kept on my board is my first: a Digitech Whammy IV.
The only other one I've kept for a relatively similar period of time is a DBA Echo Dream 2.
I haven't but I've been meaning to! I already use an Elements though so idk how I feel about another 3 band eq on the board.

I've had a poly chorus on my guitar board since 2006.

Nothing else as long as that, been using korg pitchblack since around 2011, but I don't think that counts.
