Pedals you'd (almost) never sell

I hold high hopes for my VT in the coming season, being as my BDDI served me very well for 2 years. My Small Clone was a staple, but it slowly being replaced with a Memory Boy. My Ernie Ball Volume Pedal and Boss TU2 will probably always be with me though; nice and reliable.

As for dirt, I keep a big muff around in case I need it, and I have a Pork Loin that I've been messing with, but I wouldn't say I'm super loyal at this point.
 
Don't think I'll ever get rid of my Arc Flash. If I was only allowed one pedal, that might be it.

The only reason I sold the Big Spider is because someone cool came along and needed it a lot more than I do -- he was gracious enough to pay full price so I can buy a new one when Verellen-man is back in town.

I just picked up an Ibanez PD7 Phat Hed off eBay for only $23 shipped, and it might be the best money I've ever spent on my pedalboard. With it, I finally have created that warm, low-heavy overdrive sound that I've been hearing in my head for years, and what it does in combination with my Boss BF-3 is nothing short of amazing. You'll get it off my board over my dead body.
 
EHX Qballs. Up sweep, down sweep, fixed filter, tone shaper, boost, pseudo-fuzz, synth-like tones, mimics other great filters very well, and I'm probably not finished finding uses for it. Analogman modded it to have the distortion pot on the outside; extremely useful for the synth/fuzz tones, especially in conjunction with the blend knob. It's not going anywhere!
