Pedals that stack with the Arcade Audio Cheat Code

MXR Distortion+

Keep Cheat Code's smooth optical tremolo ahead of the Distortion+ so the pulse still shapes a clean signal before the gritty clipping saturates it.

Univox Super-Fuzz

Keep Cheat Code's smooth optical tremolo ahead of the Super-Fuzz so the pulse still tracks a clean signal before the raw octave fuzz distorts it.

Empress Echosystem

Keep Echosystem's digital, MIDI-controlled delay-reverb trailing after Cheat Code's smooth optical tremolo, not before, or the effect smears the pulse. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Roland SDE-3000D

Keep the SDE-3000D's modern digital delay trailing after Cheat Code's smooth optical tremolo, not before, or the repeats inherit a moving signal. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)
