Thats a tough one... I'd go with them ones as my five faves:
The Empress Heavy is probably the best Distorion pedal I ever had my hands on in the past 40 years. Sounds very organic and super straight forward.
J. Rockett Rockaway Archer is a nice hybrid Overdrive/EQ pedal, was developed with Steve Stevens.
Maxon AF-9 is a cool Envelope Filter, and I use almost always turned on, with very decent settings = all down to zero. That adds a little bit of a human voice to the tone. Marty Friedman does that a lot.
Fortin 33 is a "brutalizer" that cleans up the low end fundament from Distortion pedals and brings more weight, clarity and aggression to the tone.
The Keeley Compressor plus is a wonderful always-on Compressor for me, the sound just profits in general from that. Have altogether three Compressors on my board, but this one is my fave.
