Pedals that stack with the Ampeg 50th Anniversary SVT Head

Boss ODB-3

The ODB-3's bass-voiced overdrive stacks with the SVT's own tube attack for a thicker, two-stage push.

Carl Martin Crunch Drive

The Crunch Drive's valve-driven British crunch gives the SVT's clarity and attack a fuller gain stage to push into.

Boss OD-1 Overdrive

The OD-1's transparent, gritty clipping gives the SVT's tube attack somewhere to go besides just louder.

MXR Flanger

Run the MXR Flanger's subtle, warm sweep after the SVT's own tube attack settles, so the modulation moves a defined tone.

Demeter Compulator

Run the Compulator's subtle optical compression ahead of the SVT for even attack before the amp's own tube platform reacts to it.

FoxGear EchoSex

Put the EchoSex's rich, vintage-voiced echo in the SVT's effects loop, after the amp's own tube attack and clarity do the work. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Alexander Pedals Now We Are Ghosts Reverb

Keep Ampeg 50th Anniversary SVT Head's transparent voice out front: Alexander Pedals Now We Are Ghosts Reverb goes in Ampeg 50th Anniversary SVT Head's effects loop so its analog warmth voice doesn't muddy it — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)
