HARD DECISION!!!(HELP PLEASE!)

Post by leosantos »

Hi!,first post here but i ve awalys been around the forum reading the threads.But quick and to the pointless,Santa came here and gave me a bonus income of 350$ and I ve been thinking of picking up 2 pedals but im in a really hard situation.My band is kinda stoner rock thing,pop,straight up rock roll like Qotsa and triggerfinger and searching for the perfect gear that suit my needs I found these 3 pedals

Catalinbread Sft-Ampeg in a box pedal,70s overdrive thing kinda sounds like the V4(That Josh homme Uses)
Black Arts Black forest-A colorsound overdrive based,seems pretty versatile(Triggerfinger Ruben Block has a colorsound)
Fuzzhugger Algal bloom-This thing is just great,no comments

So the basic idea is Stack 2 pedals to make the sound seems bigger.I wanna know from you guys what are my best bets here(im open to suggestions).Here in Brazil its difficult to test pedals like fuzzhugger,so im counting on you guys!Thanks

I'm always going to recommend the algal bloom, that thing is so so killer. You definitely won't regret getting one!

My two favorite OD are:
-Liquid Gain, Hydra
-Mid-Fi, Overdrive

FuzzHugger(fx) Magic Meter and Dr. Scientist The Element are also very good!

Algal stacked with OD (I personally use a Fuck) is gorgeous, and from what I've heard the Black Forest is great, so enjoy!
