What’s your favorite pedal thats less than $100

Thought this would be interesting. What are your favorite pedals that can be purchased for less than $100. New or used. If used please include a photo of said pedal for sale at less than $100.

I'll start with the tc nova repeater. My go to sound for solos and intro parts.

bought two of those and they both broke down on me... they sounded great and always used on solos but for some reason they just seem to be unreliable...or maybe that's just my luck
Been lucky with mine so far but I have seen others havkng issues. I got interesting in the repeater from watching Janek Gwizdalas stuff. He has 4 of them to have multiple backups and is having issues with 3 of the 4 now which he showed in a recent YouTube video. If I remember right he's trying out the eventide h9 and the line 6 stomp to see if they can replace it. I haven't found another delay that works exactly the same. Most have "artifacts" in the sound that I don't want when I try to use them like I use the repeater. But yeah TC pedals don't seem to be holding up as well as some others like mxr and boss. The ditto and toneprint series seem to develop issues over time also.

Before this thread gets dominated w HPFs...

I really love my "Flip Flop" which lets me switch the order of 2 loops. I ise it w 2 ditto x2 loopers and as you can imagine this pedal enables me the ability to build and deconstruct loops in all sorts of ways. The one I have is meh...the click over sometimes doesnt work and I need to get it fixed, but I love what it does when it works.
 
Line 6 Liquaflange. I would regularly sing it's praises. It's been in a drawer for a couple of years til I just pulled it out and played my Great Divide through the Step mode. Holy goobus, it sounds as cool as I remember. Currently 6 for sale on Reverb between $60-$100.

I got mine because of Janek Gwizdala..i'm a big fan my dittos are still holding up, and ive been thinking of getting a TC Feedback Delay 2 , smaller footprint and expandable via the toneprint option and according to Janek "can replace the repeater"
