Which pedal made by Boss are the one you use the most or every time you are playing, the one you couldn�t survive without and there is no alternative for?
Many Boss pedals have alternatives, like Ibanez TS for SD-1 etc.
In my case it is EH-2, the alternative is the Sonic Maximizer but I don�t know if that�s a pedal or not.
Eh-2 I use every time, even if that�s the only pedal I use. It makes the guitar sound a lot clearer and more defined. I think the prices for this one is going to rise in the future.

The CS-2 compressor.
But since you ask for a pedal without an alternative (and the CS-2 has one or two competitors almost as good as it is) I go for the FV-300L volume pedal. I haven�t foud yet another (passive)volume pedal that does the job better than this one. I use it in the middle of my effects chain and so it needs to be a low impedance pedal. There is no substitute for the FV-300L  |

DD-6 Digital Delay
I'm surpising myself with that one. I'm always using a delay pedal but since I started running stereo there's only one pedal that has stereo in as well as stereo out. I like to run the Chorus in stereo too so the only alternative is the DD-6. Maybe I should get myself a second DM-2... |

Nice to hear that Bossarea!
Some of us, including myself sometimes, tend to hype the old Boss pedals and put the newer ones down for various reasons.
I have DD-20 and think it�s the best delay Boss ever made, I have yet to hear DD-6, but it�s high on my wants-list.

For me, it's the LS-2. I use it to blend effected and clean signals as well as isolate my fx loop for emergencies.

Goran reminds me of the only pedal I have always on my board: the DD-20!
How could I forget that  |

| I just got back into playing within the past year, and prior to that I never had a pedal that I felt I would not be able to survive without, until now...After I got my MT-2 modded by Keeley, that pedal is a "must have" for me now. I thought the stock version was decent, but not vital for my playing, but now I pretty much have to be going through that pedal if I am plugging into an amp. |

i gotta say the DD-6, chorus, flange, phase etc are nice touches but the DD-6 is the pedal. great for writing stuff with the sample function, whacked out jimmy hendrix with the hold and every possible delay available at your fingertips in crystal quality. Phew!!!  |

| Toss up between the DD-3 (I love this delay!) and the EH-2, those are the pedals that are always on and always in my rig. Ohyeah and the ISP decimator. Yeah, its one of those! |

I have 3 that I must use: my EH-2 is number 1!! Next is my modded GE-7, and finally is my modded DS-1. I can't live without them.
