ST-200 Turbo Tuner, the boards have changed but this has been on every one of them since I bought it several years ago.
Fanning the flames of burning GAS for over 30 years
Boss LS-2. It was bought as a looper. But slowly became used for so many different things. Booster and a way to combine guitar signals to one single amp. I'd never be without this swiss army knife.
Not exactly what you are asking but one of the first pedal builds I done was a 3-knob Tonebender. At the time I knew nothing about + ground or biasing germanium transistors (still don't know much). I bought a board, sourced some parts (just got three transistors, no idea they needed to have certain specs) and put it together with the schematic that came with the board. Obviously it didn't work and I left it. A while later I got my hands on some more assorted transistors and thought I'd have another look at it. I tried all different arrangements and finally got a sound out of it. Sounded a bit weird though. Last look I turned the diode round the other way and boom! sounded awesome (to my ears anyway). So the diode is round the wrong way and the transistors aren't "correct" but I love it and have never found or built anything else that sounds as good (to me). Still have no idea why it works so well. I put a switch on to reverse the diode as it gives you a cool squelchy dying battery sound too.
Arion SOD-1, now on my second one and have a spare not on the board. Must be getting on for 3 decades and such a great all round overdrive for so little money.
BOSS RT-20, a staple of my sound. I used the CE-2 I'd had forever before getting this.
This is so good (for what I need, at least) that I sold the CE-2.

No. Although a TU-2 was with me for about a decade before I got a Polytune.
Freaky! My pedal is a Marshall Jackhammer that I bought from Chappells in Milton Keynes.
I also tried the RAT and the tubescreamer
Zoom Ultra Fuzz, EHX POG2, EHX Nano small stone & Boss DD7 have been permanent fixtures since I got them.
Brilliant - my demo was in the little glass room (if memory serves) back right of the shop.
Small world!
