Favorite Bass Pedals?

As determined by pedals I keep purchasing over and over after being stupid enough to sell them off again, I'll have to say:
- Sansamp BDDI (V2 now) - it's just the sound, man
- Malekko B:assmaster - I sell it because I dont NEED it, but dammit I love that noise.
- Bass Big Muff - so many opinions everywhere on how bad it sucks, but much of the time it's exactly the flavor of fuzz I want.
- EBS Multicomp or Fairfield Accountant - my favorite compressors to date. Honorable mention to the Milk Box, too.

EDIT: I don't have ANY of the above pedals right now. I'm slackin!
 
Dunwich Du-95: Essentially a lower distortion green russian with tone bypass switch, extra mids stomp switch, mid knob, saturation control, and switch between silicon and LED diodes.

EHX Ravish Sitar: While not intended for bass, I think it actually sounds much better on bass than on guitar. Because bass is lower, it doesn't sound shrill with overdrive.
 
Mxr envelope filter and my digitech bass whammy. Killer sound from those 2 together. I’m still on the hunt for a good overdrive/distortion pedal. Every one I’ve owned disappoints me. I’d like to try a darkglass pedal one of these days
