im really impressed with the Sonic research turbo tuner, and Ive yet to read one bad word from anyone whos tried one.

many to name but if I had to pick one,,the best pedal I got in 08 that was an actual effect was a BJ modded BigMuff,,the finest sounding muff Ive came across.

2008 was the year of GAS-gone-wild for me, my new years resolution is to spend way less time and money dealing with effects and a lot more time playing and practicing... I have a long list of absolutely amazing purchases this year, but I suppose the #1 spot has to go to my Honey Bee. Its what got me started down the BJFE road which has led to much happiness and meeting many cool people :D
My BJFE- Some special ones. Some standard ones. I love them all just the same.

This is tough, I picked up some really nice pedals this year.

Probly have to go with model H too, but the homeybee and Pine green compressor are pretty close behind. Most of the other pedals I picked up that weren't BJF didn't last.

For sheer nostalgia, the Ibanez Fl-99 flanger I picked up is great... I had one like 10 years ago when I started playing the guitar, so getting one back was great!
