The most owned pedal here on TalkBass is ... ?

I absolutely love this thread. It will really help me in making some choices. I compiled a list of most owned, therefore in most cases, best of. Maybe not, but very good starting point for someone wanting to explore the effects world for bass.

Boss BF-2
Boss CEB-3
Boss LS-2
Boss OC-2
Boss ODB-3
Digitech Bass Synth Wah
EBS Multicomp
EHX Bass Big Muff
EHX Small Stone
Korg Pitchblack
Line 6 DL4
MXR M80 Bass DI+
MXR M82 Bass Envelope Filter
MXR M288 Bass Octave Deluxe - 18
Planetwaves CT-04
Tech 21 VT Bass
I already own a few of these including EHX Smallstone, MXR M80, Planetwaves CT-04.
About the tuner, I know the Boss TU series was not included in my list. Thats because I think the Planetwaves tuner is better. Which brings the Korg Pitchblack to my attention. I will definately be checking this out.
I also have the Line 6 DL4 in the list because I think it is truely staring to be recognized (just from other research).
I also own the Ibanez Weeping Demon, which I have found nice for my bass.
I play guitar as well, so if I find a pedal that works well for both that is a plus. So now I get to let the fun begin. I think I will start with checking out the EHX Bass Big Muff. So again, thankyou to all you guys here on Talkbass for taking time to put this list together.

great to hear that you like it.

well, that thread went little out of control .... imagine what the search engines think when they crawl the pages with those endless fx lists. i wish we could do a real poll or connect to a database to make it more accurate.

Yeah, I've discovered a few threads similar to this. I just skip to the last post to see where everything falls. In any case a great starting point for someone just begining as well. I guess depending on where a persons budget is at, some of these can get very expensive. Most the players in my area are all straight forward. Bass guitar into amp, so its not like you can borrow a pedal and try it out. The list just helps to weed them out.
