Favorite effect aquisition of 2009?

[Darkstrike]

MXR Carbon Copy.

 

[loendmaestro]

Tech 21 VT Bass & Fender Sub-lime bass fuzz.

Though the VT Bass is my new god.

 

[bassman1185]

For me, it's probably the Pigtronix OFO Disnortion. Seriously, there are so many killer sounds in that box.

Honorable mention goes to the Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai.

 

[AndrewMagrini]

Hard decision - either a Submarine or a VT Bass

 

[FreaqyFrequency]

AcousticImaginearing QuantumDrive and EHx Enigma.

A new future awaits them in the year to come.

 

[RobertPaulson]

Silicon B:Assmaster all the way!

+1

 

[cbrophy]

EBS Multicomp compressor....Nice!

 

[bongomania]

The DDyna Thinman was a big surprise hit with me, and I use it all the time now. Also I have run into a surprising number of really likable compressors this year--it seems like the ratio of good:bad has tilted significantly to the good side. Maybe I'm just being pickier about what I buy though.

 

[VermonaLisa]

EHX BiFilter

 

[Joe Gress]

Pickle Pie B or Geminidrive

 

[Jared Lash]

Retrospec Squeezebox.

I wouldn't have thought a compressor would be my favorite pedal but I absolutely love the thing. It's now an integral part of my tone.

 

[Poor Tom]

favorite: POG2

 

[katri]

there has been a fair few but i think it has to be either my bluebeard or tone factor bass fuzzsaw

 

[wolf7883]

Crowther Prunes and Custard is my go-to guy for some weird dirt.

 

[Smurf-o-Deth]

FEA Labs Dual Band Compressor, without a doubt.

 

[Bryan R. Tyler]

Gordius Little Giant controller. Not technically an effect, but a super magical MIDI controller forged by wizards and given a screen big enough for legally blind people.

 

[bigchiefbc]

Ooh this is tough. If you had asked me a couple weeks ago, I would have said the Devi Ever Improbability Drive, both the crazy amounts of sounds and the corksniffer/unobtanium factor. But man, the Philosopher's Tone really blew me away last night at practice. My tone sounded so much fuller and punchier, it gave me sustain for days, and my highs were really singing too. So much so that my drummer even said something to me afterwards about how good it sounded. It might not be the sexiest purchase, but it's just so damn useful and sounds great.

 

[Dr3thepooner]

PBDDI ...

 

[bass.bert]

Nocto Loco – unique, many options, killer agressive sound

also worth it's money: Octavius Squeezer (options, presets, sound quality) and a used OC 2 (tightest octaver soundwise)

I bought four pedals this year that are still on my board (not sure how many came and went). In order of my current favorites:

1. fuzzhugger great wall
2. EHX SMM/H
3. EBS BassIQ
4. EHX SEM

I'm done with effects for awhile, though I do need to pick up some kind of a preamp that can level the very hot signal from my Warwick and the weaker signal from my NS NXT. Thinking a Bassbone might do it, but I hear its a tone suck. I'm open to suggestions...
