    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:

    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

    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.
