Pedals that stack with the Cornford Hellcat

shapes the dynamic responseShapes how the tone responds to picking dynamics rather than its frequency or gain. (dynamic → compressed)

What Kokko FCP2 Mini Compressor brings here leans toward compressed — that's worth building a pairing around

Goes in front of the amp

fills a frequency gapFills in a frequency range the other side doesn't cover, instead of piling more onto what's already there. (thin → full)

Where this leans thin, Amptweaker Big Rock Pro answers back full
