I love it, it lets me crank the harmonic level on my D.I. and really rounds out my sound. Simple, yet effective, if only the rest of life was that easy.

I would have to say the big one for me was the Line 6 M13 it just completely destroyed like 7 years of boutique fx buying. While I now think the M9 is better, I didn't get it first and it didn't completely change my world of fx.
In 2nd place this year would be the Catalinbread SFT because the thing just sounds so amp like, it's unreal.

holy crap... i just realized i didnt buy a single effect in 2009... wow... well, i did throw down some cash for a custom/prototype ring mod, but that is still in the works... still...
so i guess i technically bought a ring mod that doesnt exist in 2009. thats the best answer i got here. good thing ive struck a fine balance between overly excited and patient.

Other than a used Zoom B-2 picked up for synth sounds I got no new toys in 09, everything I got went into the studio, I limit myself to only spending gig money on musical stuff. 09 was a sucky year for gigs but 2010 is looking up!
Just this year I've dug deeper into pedals I only owned one before 2009. Therefore all of my current pedals were purchased in the last year. Here's a rundown of the ups, downs and best of the best of all of them.
EHX-Mole
Boss ODB-3
For my uses its not so much an overdrive as a boost. With my current Solid State setup it doesn't react so well when not rolled back to the DRY setting. I've been thinking something like this could help but I don't know.

If anyone has any recommendations for an Overdrive that will work well with a Sunn Concert Bass and has good low end or any insight at all I'd be in debt.
EHX NYC Big Muff
I'm beginning to appreciate this purchase more and more. At first I was a little disappointed as my only previously owned pedal before last year was a Russian Black Big Muff. I'm not really able to use this pedal to it's true Muffy goodness (sustain almost dimed, tone rolled back) in my current band. But I'm realizing I can use it as a damn convincing
Lemmy-chaneller just listen to the intro to Ace of Spades...err, I mean our new song.
Korg Pitchblack
Sweet tuner pedal the only thing the Boss Chromatic Tuner has on this is it can be used as a splitter as well.
Danelectro Cool Cat Chorus 18v
Cool older pedal from the 90's that I scooped up off of ebay for a good price. It's not digital at all and very organic sounding which I like. It also works well with other pedals. I'm not going to get a lush underwater sound but I get a damn good basic chorus sound. Only bad thing is the 18v power supply.
Still on the wishlist for 2010
An older Rat
An older Qtron
Bassballs
Stereo Electric Mistress
Bass Big Muff (maybe)
& whatever else I end up gassing for.
edit: forgot I also want a VT Bass
EHX-Mole
I'm totally with you on the Mole. It's a great little pedal and I love the ballsy, bassy goodness it can create for certain parts. It's just the way I use it I couldn't leave it on at all times. Even better price though.

Fuzzrocious Munch the Muffin. It'll most likely be the only fuzz I ever need.
Runner up goes to the 3leaf Audio Groove Regulator. It's the most perfectest envelope filter and Spencer = awesome sauce.
