Pedals that stack with the AlfaTone Paperback Heartbreaker #3

ZVEX Fuzz Factory

Keep the Fuzz Factory's gated germanium fuzz ahead of the Heartbreaker so the preamp boost still shapes a clean signal before the gate chops it up.

Nobels ODR-1

The ODR-1's transparent, mid-forward drive stacks with the Heartbreaker's boutique preamp boost for a richer, two-stage push.

Boss CE-1 Chorus Ensemble

Run the CE-1's lush, vibrato-laced chorus after the Heartbreaker's boutique preamp boost settles the gain, so the modulation moves a defined tone.

Empress Bass Compressor Blue

Run the Empress's transparent optical compression ahead of the Heartbreaker for even dynamics before the preamp boost reacts to your picking.

Alexander Pedals Radical Delay

Put Alexander Pedals Radical Delay after AlfaTone Paperback Heartbreaker #3 in the signal chain, clear of AlfaTone Paperback Heartbreaker #3's own gain stage — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Caroline Guitar Company Meteore

Put Caroline Guitar Company Meteore after AlfaTone Paperback Heartbreaker #3 in the signal chain, clear of AlfaTone Paperback Heartbreaker #3's own gain stage — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)
