What is your favorite pedal on your board and why?

For me right now because I don't have my big rig with me in my current band (svt and barefaced 69er) it has to be my Darkglass Vintage microtubes. It actually gets me some of that big ass tube amp sound through a Genz Benz shuttle.

I also am not totally sure I sure I could play a gig without a quality envelope filter like the Moog 101 or a Mutron

EHX Deluxe Bass Big Muff Pi. The crossover lets me have two entirely different tones on tap. Without crossover is a kick ass fuzz, and with crossover is a more gritty, trebly distortion that sounds less like a fuzz and more like a hardcore distortion. Also the built in noise gate, blend, tone control, sustain, and such makes it overall probably my most versatile pedal. I also run a Boss ODB-3 with light gain and if I kick that on with the muff its the best metal distortion tone I have played.

My venerable Boss BF-2B analog flanger. I don't use it all the time, but it gives my bass a resonance like the voice of some huge beast, and has become very much a part of my sound.

For me it would be bass whammy vs m5 vs jamman. I use the jamman to play samples and not for looping bass so i guess i can't really include it. The m5 gets the most attention mainly because it does so much so for me it replaced 5 or 6 pedals. The bass whammy replaced a whammy IV and I'm still in the "honeymoon period" but i gotta say the different presets make it more useful than the whammy 4 and the sound quality is better. I don't have many lines using the whammy pedal but when it comes to writing new material it's the first pedal i think of.
