Your FAVORITE pedal

EHX Qballs. Every envelope filter sweep and tone I could ever need, killer synth tones with the built-in distortion, straight no-sweep dirt when setting the Start and Stop controls identically, and I haven't even tried it with an expression pedal yet! AnalogMan modded mine to have the internal distortion pot on the outside, and gave the pedal an output volume control. It's my perfect filter pedal!
 
Can haz all teh pedalz?

I have a Cali76 on the way so that may be top dog...

I dunno, currently it's between Spaceman Merucry III or Antelope Morning Dew...I'd say the MIII at the moment
 
I know we are talking single units, but for me it has to be the combination of EHX Freeze, Zoom MS-100BT and Digitech XT Solo looper which I operate as a unit. Between them the sound-scape possibilities are endless. Capture a note, chord or voice with the Freeze, texture/colour it with the Zoom then layer up in the Looper - WOW. I especially like to use rhythmic/temporal effects (vibrato, tremolo, slicing, step filters, flange/phase, etc) post-Freeze.
I guess none of this would be possible without the Freeze, so my vote for single favourite pedal goes to EHX FREEZE.
 
Completely unrelated but I Love megaman 5. Beat that game So many times, about 45 minute run time, that's why I love megaman, enough of this 40 hour long crap! Who has the time!

That's where I got my username from. I'm a big fan of the mega man franchise and crystal man from mega man 5 is one of my favorite robot masters. I enjoy playing the mega man video games.

For dirt, Blacksheep Outlaw Bass Overdrive. It's fat, thick and good for light or really heavy Overdrives....and all the stuff between. A close 2nd place is my Joyo American Sound, it's just SO versatile. For Compression, I like my EBS Multi-Comp, for EQ....an MXR bass Preamp. But my most used and loved pedal by far is my TC Electronics Corona Chorus. I can do more with that one pedal than I can with all the rest. It can add a little sparkle, add sustain and a whole lot of other really subtle but nice sounds too.
