The Joys of Stacking: A Dissertation on Dirtboxes

[Lemyisgod]

Rat ---> other effects ----> The Elements - Makes everything sound like a Buzzsaw

[Wes Mantooth]

Sparkle Motion into any fuzz pretty much. I've used it with my old Catalinbread Manx, my old TAFM and now I use it with my Eau Claire Thunder to add a little extra treble and some saturation.

I'm also experimenting using different fuzzes along with my Year4545, utilizing the clean blend feature, haven't found anything absolutely killer yet, but I know I will

Also Fuzzhugger Phantom Ring into my old Fuzz War, sounded like the perfect cross of a muff and a super fuzz

Now I miss my Fuzz War

Rat->Fuck is like a real almost sizzly, massive, ear-ending fuzz on bass.

[J-Fuzz]

I experiment a lot with stacking, but for some reason a Rat and/or TS-808 always seem to be there somewhere. Getting older and boring I guess.

I have been doing my green muff into my black plague for super saturated power chord riff sounds, but now it seems like the rat cuts out some the boom of the muff. I need to find something that can stand up to the russian style fuzz. might just get another muff and call it a day.

33 into Swollen Pickle for doomy hugeness.

Fuzz Factory into 33 (with Stratocaster neck pickup and tone rolled off) for glitchy synth goodness.

Tone machine into a muff is dooms and nasty as tit

I loves loves loves Teh Stacking!

Gnomeratron VTF > And Aardvarks! = amp melting, note-swelling, feedback inducing goodness.

Turbo Rat > TAFM = fuzzy crunchy freakout funtimes.

Wolf Computer > B:assmaster > Grim Rimmer (RI-based builder octave fuzz) = most pronounced glass-cutting octave up ever.

Anything > The Elements = brutal awesomesauce.

I know it's not the same thing, but I'm also a big fan of stacking modulation. Arion Stereo Chorus > Arion Stereo Flanger > Aria Chorus = crazy water splashes of sound.

+1

Also, TAFM->Arc Flash is pretty nice, Sparkle Motion->TAFM->Arc Flash is ridiculous. I'm looking forward to getting an upper for MOAR stacking.

...I've been lately rocking:

Hugger loop pre boost >> Ibanez Standard Fuzz >> McSpunckle Br00tz mini
Hugger loop pre boost >> Ibanez Standard Fuzz >> McSpunckle And aardvarks
Hugger loop pre boost >> Ibanez Standard Fuzz >> DE TBD
Hugger loop pre boost >> DOD Meat Box >> Ibanez Standard Fuzz >> Hugger loop post boost
Hugger loop pre boost >> AB-Synth >> DOD Meat Box
Hugger loop pre boost >> DE Bit Mangler

Yeah, all of the above combos push the amp volumes considerably. Like, a LOT.

I know it's not the same thing, but I'm also a big fan of stacking modulation. Arion Stereo Chorus > Arion Stereo Flanger > Aria Chorus = crazy water splashes of sound.

...does a chorus in feedback loop > ring modulation count? IT SHOULD! it's SPANKING!

[benjuro]

For guitar, I use
Blunderbuss or Monarch--->Pharaoh
Supercollider--->Hoof
Dirt Transmitter--->Black Forest

And my TAFM is on it's way....sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

[Grrface]

So far, Rat (Tail for me) into pretty much any fuzz is pretty awesome. At the moment, it's RT -> Wooly Mammoth Clone.
