Getting an AOR 100 soon. What dive pedals would accentuate and comment the dirty channel well? Plan on playing some evil black metal and some doomier/sludgy stuff as well.

I have a lstr, mxr distortion II, Digitech death metal and a hyper fuzz currently.

Sound like you have high gain covered, so maybe something lower gain/boosty to goose it?
I like the voicing on the rat, but sparklemotion, rangemaster etc would fall in that camp as well.

When it comes to boosting a dirty channel, the Fulltone OCD and Black Arts Black Forest are a couple of my favorite overdrives to goose something into high gain. OCD on HP mode is a killer boost and the BF is super tweakable.

What I use with my DSL100 (I know it's not the most "Marshally" of Marshalls) is a Rat, IC Muff, HM-2 (about to be a FZ-2!), and a Tubescreamer clone (getting less and less use..). I use a Rat on the lead and crunch channels. I mainly have it on the crunch channel and with the Rat at the right settings and proper volume is my favorite standard dirt tone

I have an AOR 50 watter and the presence and treble knobs on that amp will send you into icepicking treble black metal city with an overdrive to push it. I like my monarch to send me into distorted destruction.

For doom, I love the monarch into the megalith with the input not too high otherwise its too flubby. But the natural gain on the tubes plus the monarch and megalith is the absolutely greatest. Muffs sound great through a pushed laney too.

#1: Germanium FuzzFace
1a: Tonebenders

Both of my amps are Marshalls or clones thereof, and the Elements is definitely my favorite low-to-mid gain pedal to push the amps into roaring territory. Yes, the Elements is capable of a shitload of gain on its own, but I usually use it in low-gain mode.

It makes me feel dirty to say "tube screamer" but yeah...

Oh also Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal. Instant Mayhem/Godflesh just add signal.

Yeah I kinda want to fool around with that tight modern metal sound. And it pains to me to en consider buying a ts circuit. Seems like I'm going against years of ilf teaching. Anyone ever run a fuck into an overdriven Marshall?

Also, TOTALLY should have thought of the tonebender, was just listening to ziggy last night...

I've done a mini into the Marshall voicing of an Egnater Tweaker. It works pretty well but it's not SUPER tight or aggressive like a TS circuit is.

guitarist in my band does. gets pretty fuzzy and heavy for sure.
what garden said though - it's definitely got a much looser bottom end than some other stuff out there.

I'm so excited to hear the new album!

If you wanna tighten up that bottom and do some modern stuff, spend $30 and get a used SD-1. Probably the best budget amp booster in my opinion.

The Way Huge Green Rhino is a good TS alternative, because it has a knob to crank 100 Hz by 12 dB or something. It's tight.

Forgot about the Green Rhino! That old boy can get some NASTY bass!

TS!

Emma pisdiyauwot on low gain is also great. But expensive. So. TS.
