Stacking boosts

[Meathead]

Anyone else like two boosts better then one?

I like running the EP-Pre into an RC Booster. I dig how the guitar's volume reacts with them both on.

I made a little clip. Starts off with the guitar rolled back quite a bit.
Don't know if you can hear how nice it feels with the volume rolled back.

cool tone - sounds like it stays nice and jangly with the volume rolled back. What geetar and pickups?

I definitely like stacking boosts for solos, great way to really focus the sound and really stand out, then go back to one for rhythms.

Tube Screamer into BOSS SD-1... some of the best tone I've ever heard... works with every amp I've tried.

basis for my tone for a while =)

i would stack a BB and a Mi audio bb deluxe, and later a cmatmods brownie into the fold

it always seemed to lack a little something as i'd be stacking two of them for rhythmic stuff, so since then i've been using a blackstar ht dual with the BB to boost it for a bit more juice for lead lines/vol. boost which works very well,

i have a lovepedal kalamazoo coming next week, really can't wait to try that out

Exactly! When rolling back on the guitar's volume, it still has a nice presence and it feels great.

That was a Wolfgang Special with stock pickups.

Landau is a chronic stacker!

Problem I find with using one pedal now...one pedal may add the aggression I like, but another pedal may add the sustain and thickness I like.

Smash 'em together and what have you got?

Unbearable noise? Joking...

One of the best tones I've ever heard in life was stacking ODs into the "clean" channel of the OD-100 a la Landau.

It takes the touch response to holy-shit levels. Even cleanish tones get so greasy and easy to play and you can hear everything...

Delicious.

Yep I've done it.

I also like stacking a boost with an EQ as well.

Ed Degenaro showed me that years ago at NAMM. I actually thought about it but never thought it would sound good but I was blown away by how cool it was. IIRC he had an emma Reza pedal and a fulltone fulldrive stacked and it sounded pretty sick

Care to share what amp you used this with and what your pedal settings were? I have a ts-10 and a sd-1

Excellent! I give this tone a Five Chicken Head Rating.

Didn't know I had options, sorry. Been living under a rock lately.

Here's a clip I just did. It's a lead I wrote for our upcoming album.

Signal is modded Phase 90--> MXR Classic OD--> BB+ --> Carbon Copy into the recto's clean channel. I love stacking!

Why did I wait so long to try it?

It's great...I'm hooked.

Landau!

I definitely find it works best with headroom. The 2 pedals give me that sag/compression that cranking the amp would give.
If I can crank the amp up at a gig and get the power section cooking, the pedals aren't really needed...just too much maple syrup.

Ya, just a little dab from each will do ya. You can definitely go overboard and end up with a muddy mess.

Thanks! I actually should have kept the treble and the mid turned up a few more notches where I usually set them for gigging.
Works great with the band and for recording, but when I play on my own downstairs I find it too fatiguing.
