Why are so many people surprised when good pedals sound good together? I know, not ALL of them do, but generally. Seems like unexpected wouldn't come into play unless you're using "crappy" or sleeper pedals

Yeah, just good stacked sounds doesn't count as unexpected for me

Cosmichorus into the loop of the Deluxe Memory Boy. I knew it would sound good, but I didn't know it would sound THAT good.

messing around with octave and chorus, and it turns out that harmonics sound like organ notes.

My neighbor let me borrow a black Sovtek Big Muff, black Sovtek Small Stone, tubescreamer soundtank, Seymour Duncan Power Grid, and a Pignose amp... Except for the ts5 they all rock... I'm really loving the Power Grid through some Fuzzhuggers...
Ugly but HOT...

Ran my arc Flash in the lower gain mode into an Uber metal, neck humbuckers with the tone rolled back somehow it gave me a RAT type sound.
Actually put it next to my Rat and it sounded the same but with more sustain and less noise (gate on the Uber metal helped)
Only issue I have is that the buffer on the Uber metal seems to be actively working to ruin the sound of any pedal I put after it.

i had a nice experience yesterday:
if you have a fuzz like gnomeratron vft or tafm with clean AND fuzz volume do the following:
tune a fuzz to trebly sound and put it in front of it (i used the wolf computer),
tune the second fuzz (that one with the separate volumes) to a bassy muffled sound (i used the gnomeratron vft) and turn both on. You get an ultra wide fuzz sound 'cause the first fuzz goes through the second one untouched with the clean volume. Absolutely amazing. So the "stacking" gets not too washed out or dull (yes, both could be also intended but this application is more "tight").

I tried and liked this earlier this week: Phantom Octave > QTron+ (hi-pass) > Line 6 M9 Growler (mu-tron+voice box). There was a thread where someone was unaware that the Q-Tron had a hi-pass and someone else had disparaging words that there was something in the M9 called "Growler". So I put 'em together and voila! Chubby.

This sounds very interesting (and smart!) univalve! Will have to give that a try.

Hmm, I might do this with my Sparkle Drive (has a clean blend knob) and a darker-sounding overdrive in front of it, to get a wider range of overdriven sound / boost fuller frequencies. Will report back on how that sounds.

Using the Hotcake as an end-of-the-line boost.
Using the FGC after the Mayo.
Winning.
