Pedals that stack with the Albuquerque's Flat line compressor

Suhr Rufus Reloaded

The Flat Line's transparent compression smooths out your attack before the Rufus Reloaded's high-gain fuzz digs in, so the fuzz doesn't just amplify inconsistent picking.

JHS Smiley

The Flat Line's transparent optical compression evens out your attack before the Smiley's midrange fuzz bites in, so the fuzz doesn't just amplify inconsistent picking.

Malekko Electro-Harmonix Memory Toy Analog Delay

Keep the Memory Toy's warm analog echoes trailing after the Flat Line — compress first so the repeats decay evenly instead of chasing an uneven signal. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Strymon BigSky

Keep the BigSky's shimmering ambient reverb trailing after the Flat Line — compress first so the reverb tail decays evenly instead of chasing dynamics. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)
