Pedals you regret getting rid of? (self.guitarpedals)

Ok let’s do a classic here. What pedals do you most regret getting rid of or selling and why?

For me:

Catalinbread Echorec. I love multi tap delays and while I was able to get close to emulating this on my DD-500 it’s just not the same. The way the delays blend into each other and create this wash of reverb is sublime. Probably going to buy it again soon.
Boss DS-2 Turbo Distortion. It wasn’t that different from my DS-1 but damn I wish I still had it. Whenever I play my DS-1 now it’s just too harsh.

As a high school bozo I took a terrible trade-in value for a Zoom 9000 back in like '93 or '94. I think I got an Ibanez Sound Tank Tube Screamer. Looking at these listings it seems the market values are pretty close, but I had actually gigged with the Zoom and it was fine, and to lose so many other effects I didn't otherwise have at the time (and it had headphone out so I could practice late) was foolish.

Do you stack the DS-1? After watching the TPS episode on it I started setting my amp on the dirty channel, even just at edge of breakup, and that really did make a difference.
