What is your favorite pedal on your board and why?

Basically I'm looking to expand my pedal board and I thought this would be the best way to get peoples opinions.

My favorite pedal on my board is my Fulltone OCD overdrive. It's the perfect amount of drive to add a bit if crunch, especially if you have a SS amp, and it doesn't lose any low end. I have the tone knob turned to about 2 o'clock.

So, what is your favorite and why? Any type of pedal.
 
My favorite is my Fuzzrocious Rat Tail. When I got it, I was on a quest for my perfect distortion sound, and it worked exactly as I wanted. Its the only time the sound in my head came out of the speakers. I used to never turn it off, my new band is a bit mellower, so it gets punched in and out as need be. I smile whenever its on.
 
I like envelope filters, fun on their own, and a crucial part of a synth chain of fx. Currently I have a source audio BEF, subdecay Prometheus, DOD FX 25B, 3Leaf GR. and a Guyatone Ultron. All different and wonderful
 
I'd have to say my B7K right away because it gets me to where I want to be tone wise. If I didn't have that pedal, it would be hard but I LOVE my ol' DOD digital delay. Actually all my delay pedals rule. I just love delay. A lot. If I didn't have those then I'd probably say the VMT. It's so hard to pick just one! Haha
