Overdrive Stacking

Post by Casavettes »

Just wanted to hear everyone's take on which OD stacks the best with any fuzz
I use a mini right now which sounds great but have always had the monarch in the back of my mind.

Fuck Overdrive, Devi Electric Brown... man I haven't had a straight overdrive pedal in a long time. Those two come to mind first though. The Fuck OD was great at making a pedal before it sound huge. Also Electric Brown->GZ is real nasty.

Oh and I forgot about the FuzzHugger(fx) Magic Meter.
Put this one in front of a huge fuzz and it will explode.
Put if after to shape the sound.

No, only ILF-approved overdrives.

I feel like such a lame-o now, because I've basically stopped using pedal overdrive, and just use my amp for that now. But when my amp is really pumping, it really does make every fuzz sound 100 fucking times better. So, I guess what I'm saying is that personally I would recommend an overdrive that sounds just like my amp :lol:

EDIT:

Wait, actually I can contribute something now. I have a Dwarfcraft dual that has a Hair of the Dog in it, and it can be set for an overdrive-ish sound, and it sounds fucking awesome after fuzz. So that's my recommendation.

No.

Things like Keeler Designs Push or even a Tube Screamer, would sound bad because of that silly mid hump.
