I just did some pedal shopping where I just used youtube pedal reviews to figure out what I wanted and ended up really happy with what I got: Ditto Looper, OCD Overdrive and MXR DynaComp.
The Ditto Looper is a fantastic pedal: simple, cheap, easy to use and great sound. Essential for any closet players or anyone that can't convince their rhythm section to play the same 3 chords for 15 minutes so you can go deep on your stairway solo.
OCD Overdrive, I don't like 90% of distortion stomp boxes, but loved the OCD instantly. It's a great pairing with my Mesa F30, it can dirty up the clean channel a little or push it into Valhalla for an 80s metal tone, or I can layer it with the distortion channel and get booming fuzz.
MXR Dynacomp: wasn't too impressed when I first got it, but finding it mixes well with the other pedals and liking it more as I use it. 50/50 if I'm going to keep it, it provides some nice options, but not sure if I'd miss it much.
