Pedals that stack with the Blackstar Dept. 10 Dual Distortion

Suhr Shiba Drive

Stack the Shiba Drive's vintage, articulate overdrive with the Dual Distortion's own tight, high-gain British voice for two distinct flavors of heavy.

Ibanez TS10 Tube Screamer Classic

Push the Dept. 10's tight high-gain distortion with the TS10 in front and that classic mid-hump tightens the low end further.

Walrus Audio Lillian Multi-Stage Analog Phaser

Run the Lillian after the Dept. 10's high-gain distortion and its watery, resonant sweep rides the sustain instead of getting chopped by gain.

Wampler Cory Wong

Tighten your pick attack with the Cory Wong's punchy optical compression before hitting the Dept. 10, and the distortion stays articulate note to note.

Hungry Robot Moby Dick V2

Keep the Moby Dick's ambient, modulated delay trails at the end, after the Dept. 10's tight high-gain distortion, so they don't smear the attack. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Hungry Robot The Borderland

Put the Borderland's lush, shoegaze reverb after the Dept. 10's tight high-gain distortion so the wash trails the crunch instead of drowning it. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)
