Good morning, ILF.
I currently have a Fairfield Barbershop v2, Moog MF Drive v2, ss/bs Fuck Overdrive, and ss/bs Buzzz. I also have a Frazz Dazzler v2 that I’m on the fence about selling…even at its lowest gain, it’s a bit more than ideal for me.
I’ve been getting really into stacking, usually my Barbershop>MF Drive or Buzzz>Fuck. That’s been pretty awesome. The grindy clarity of the Fuck added to the gnarliness of the Buzzz or darker/middier settings on the MF Drive is such a …complete, complex sound and I love it. However, I’m considering different options as the meat in the stack sandwich.

I want something sculptable, yet full bodied, without a necessarily insane amount of gain. My research is leading me to believe a Black Forest might be quite awesome in this context. Any thoughts?

DO IT.

And tell me how you like it with the MF Drive, because I want to do pretty much the same thing but i don't have your half of the puzzle.

Black Forest is great for stacking.

When I had one, I'd use it near the end of my signal chain.

from what i recall of the demos, the Black Forest would probably be even better stacked than it is on its own.

It a good for stacking for sure.. but I'll just throw out that maybe you should investigate a Boneshaker too. Super powerful EQ.

The input cap notch is nice on the black Forest, but it's not nearly as tweakable EQ speaking as the Boneshaker imo.

I agree with with the sentiment that its better stacked then it is by itself.

First time I owned one I was running it after a pharaoh for more treble and gain. Second time i was using it at the front of my rig as a degainer.

I'm currently running it on mild granola and volume into my BadMASKan.
It's great for tightening eq and ADDING low end.
Which I will Insta clip one day.
Maybe now.

Wow. Gnarly! In which order did you stack?

BF is first, just below mid gain (11 oclock), bass at 2, treble at 1, FAC on 3, volume at 1/2.
Blackascan/BadMaskan gain near max, volume noon, other knobs at 10 and 2 (I cant remember what they do but theyre tone related) bass cap on big, assymetric silicon clipping and some other switch I don't play with (sorry AZX, I forgot to memorise your instructions. I just blindly turn knobs until I like it).

Sounds incredible!

I'm pretty happy.

That sounds fucking awesome and now I have a BF in the mail on its way to me...
