Are there any great pedal stacking combinations that you found recently or swear by throughout the years?
I've seen a bunch throughout other forums, but thought I'd finally ask for myself, here!
Lately, I've been digging a Klon with hardly any breakup, Treble pot up for a little sparkle...
So, it is frequently boasted in sales pitches how responsive a particular distortion/OD/gain pedal is to a guitar's volume knob - "It cleans right up when you roll back the volume!!" But IMO, this is not always a good thing. Sometimes the darn volume is set too high on the pedal and I want to...
So, here are some simple clips with the pedals played in this order:
Distortron v. Black Box OD2 v Timmy

I think they all sound good, but which sounds best, and are they different enough so that you would keep all three on...
I spent a fair amount of time looking at this pedal this week. It is a clone of the Mad Professor Sweet Honey. It is a very soulful, mild to moderate OD, well worth the $30 - $35 price tag.
The gain structure/tone/breakup point/distortion level (or any other term you choose to use) of an OD, distortion or fuzz type pedal certainly changes when you add compression.
This may be obvious to some and not others. Myself, I always assumed this in theory but finally put it to the test...
