Bad Cat Black Cat

Dallas Rangemaster Treble Booster

The Rangemaster's warm germanium treble boost gives the Black Cat's glassy clean gain more bite without losing its headroom.

Univox Super-Fuzz

Audiocade 1974 Colorsound Tremolo Clone

Crazy Tube Circuits Golden Ratio

The Golden Ratio's punchy optical compression evens out the attack before it ever reaches the Black Cat's own glassy, headroom-rich clean gain.

Boss DD-3 Digital Delay

Run the DD-3 in the Black Cat's loop and its clear digital slapback stays tight against the amp's glassy, organic clean. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)
