Pedals that stack with the Catalinbread StarCrash Valcoder

RHC Rat Turbo Rat Distortion

The Turbo Rat's aggressive metal clipping gives the StarCrash's gritty, surf-voiced tremolo pulse a much heavier signal to chop up.

Paul Cochrane Timmy

Run the Timmy's transparent overdrive ahead of the Valcoder so the tremolo pulses a signal that's already got its drive dialed in.

Dawner Prince Boonar

Run the Boonar's vintage studio delay after the StarCrash's gritty, surf-voiced tremolo pulse and the repeats carry the pulse forward. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Cusack Music Delay TME

The Delay TME's reliable, American-voiced echo trails the StarCrash's gritty, surf-voiced tremolo pulse with the wobble carried forward. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Benson Amps Delay PT2399 Echo

Keep Benson Amps Delay PT2399 Echo's slapback voice out front: Catalinbread StarCrash Valcoder goes after Benson Amps Delay PT2399 Echo in the signal chain so its spring voice doesn't muddy it — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Death By Audio Dream Station

Put Catalinbread StarCrash Valcoder after Death By Audio Dream Station in the signal chain, clear of Death By Audio Dream Station's own gain stage — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)
