Pedals that stack with the Ampeg F17-1

ZVEX Fuzz Factory

Keep the Fuzz Factory's gated germanium fuzz ahead of the F17-1 so the preamp's mid-forward EQ still shapes a clean signal before the gate chops it up.

Fjord Fuzz Fjaer Spring Reverb

Fjaer's delicate, blues-voiced fuzz gives the F17-1's mid-forward preamp somewhere to push without overwhelming it.

Boss CE-2W Chorus Waza Craft

Run the CE-2W's lush, low-noise analog chorus after the F17-1's own mid-forward preamp settles, so the modulation moves a defined tone.

Crazy Tube Circuits Golden Ratio

Run the Golden Ratio's punchy optical compression ahead of the F17-1 for even attack before the preamp's own mid-forward EQ reacts.

Hungry Robot Moby Dick V2

Keep Moby Dick's massive, lush ambient wash trailing after the F17-1's own mid-forward preamp, not before, or the wash just smears the EQ. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Walrus Audio Fathom

Run Fathom's lush, studio-grade ambient reverb after the F17-1's own mid-forward preamp settles, so the wash trails a defined tone. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)
