Mine are these two, the first is a Fuzz/Phaser pedal from 1974,see the date stamp, bought it in a Porn shop in Melb circa 1990 paid bugger all, its by a company later bought out by Gibson "True Vintage Pedal"....Second is a Jim Dunlop Wha Circa 1992, purcahsed Manny Guitars, New York City, when I lived there. I put my guitar build in so you would no its mine.

Ohhh nice score HB
It'd have to be my Jim Dunlop JD-F2 Fuzz Face pedal, since it is the closest I'll ever come to owning a Fuzz Face pedal that uses Germanium Transistors, the circuit is not exactly like a vintage Fuzz Face, it's a modded, temperature-stabilized version, here's a pic of it:

It's my favorite because I find that it's an easy pedal to get a good sound out of, it has just two controls, Volume and Fuzz.
And these are the most recent additions to my arsenal of pedals:

From left to right, Boss Super Chorus, Moen Pretty Dolly Delay, Ibanez TS808 Tube Screamer, Boss Compressor Sustainer.
One of these (but not reliced...), stolen in the 80's...

I still miss it, wake up in the night thinking about it and would trade in all my gear for another. Tele fanatics would understand the pain! The only guitar that has got close to the feel/vibe for me is funnily enough a 60's reissue Strat
And.. a Boss CS-3 compressor/sustainer - the only effects pedal I ever really got any use out of (for rhythm guitar). I'm now more of a rely on the guitar / amp type bloke
Knew this would bring out the lost loves, and the ones we lost..Like reading late 1980, Penthouse forum letters to the Ed...Sound to good to be true...but they are...Too all the guitar stuff we have loved and lost .
I remember in the 80's super chorous was the cats guts....Soooooo!!! Eighties...
I'm definitely an 80's guy at heart HoneyBadger, I've got lots of great memories of the 80's.
Haha that Tele was far more important than my girlfriend at the timeQuote:

Had a bunch of really good Boss MIJ pedals plus an Ibanez Flanger from early 80's around the famous tube screamer era and wish I still had the overdrive & flanger.
For guitars I have owned and sold a few before getting married and starting a family, and over past 12 months built one and purchased another to bring back some of those fond old memories.....

The Blue Ric 4001 was the last piece of my good gear that was sold 25 years ago and missed it greatly until acquiring the Fireglo 4003 a couple of months ago which also happens to be a better axe.
If there was a fire and I could only take/save one.....it would be the Ric 4003.
Yeah our Era.....I remember buying Guitar Player mag in the 80's ogling Steve Vai rig set up.....Remember getting them to learn Tab!!!... Know its Guitar Pro 5 search the net and there it is....They also had the flabby plastic record inside that worked on a turn table....Quote:

I was probably in my early to mid 20's back then.

Personally, I mostly remember all the good stuff from the 80's.
My STA-1M (first build and still my favourite) and my first run Fender Hot Rod Deluxe (USA made).
Muzza wash your mouth out.....IT was the Decade of Hair Metal!!!!!.....Europe...Poison...Motley Crue...Wasp...Ratt...Slayer...Skid Row..Winger...Slayer...Dokken....Styper....Some of the Besy Sh@test bands of all time.Quote:

Right on Brother...Those Guys changed the way Guitar was played in terms of shredding etc..Not exactly my style..Mainly because I cant shred!! But I have Passion and Warfare and next build will be a SV-1 Jem buildQuote:

Here's another bit gear that I own that's just become my favorite, yes it's my recently fixed Marshall MA100C amp:
