It's difficult to pick my 3 favorite so I'll just pick the 3 most used.
SA OFD
SA Manta
SA Orbital
I have about 12 different settings using these 3 pedals exclusively.

MXR Bass Octave Deluxe >
Xotic BB Bass Preamp >
MXR Bass Envelope Filter
I use every possible combination of these three pedals for different sounds. I keep the gain relatively low on the BB Bass preamp and it really adds some character to the other two, as well as sounding great on its own... One thing I recently discovered is that you can use it in conjunction with the MXR BOD with the dry all the way down and it sort of emulates the synthyness of an OC-2 with the dry all the way down.

1 line 6 m5
2 digitech jamman
3 digitech bass whammy(new)
These are my favorites right now.
Note: i do NOT use the jamman as a bass looper. I use it as a sampler and it has its own di to the pa and does not go to my bass rig. I use it for everything from movie samples, bass drops, bass wobbles, other crazy sound effects and also virtual instrument parts.
I say that because i wouldn't recommend the jamman as a looper. The input sensitivity is way too sensitive for bass. I mostly put sounds on mine with a 1/8 cable and my iphone. A lot of the movie
Samples and sound effects are literally things i sampled right off of YouTube.
