What is your favorite pedal on your board and why?

My favorite pedal on my board is an Ampeg Sub-blaster. Tracks well and has a great analog sound that sounds like a bass. Unfortunately, I don't get to use it much. My always on pedal is a VT bass deluxe.
 
My Pearl Octave clone. It has excellent tracking and I like how I can add just a touch of four different octaves to fill more sonic space with fewer tracks.

I wanted to pick my muff box, but since it's four big muffs in one it felt like cheating.
 
Since my TC BH250 head has both tuner and a TubeDrive toneprint for some dirt, I have to say my Mooer Ninety Orange (MXR Phase 90 clone). I know a lot of bassists prefer a good chorus instead, but I love my phaser pedals.

All that said, my Zoom MS-60B covers a lot of ground, but I think a multiFX in this thread would be cheating.
