Pedals that stack with the Crazy Tube Circuits Echotopia

“Made in Greece by Crazy Tube Circuits as part of their boutique modulation lineup alongside the Cyclone phaser and Echotopia delay”— from the crazy-tube-circuits-memphis listing

Comes earlier in the signal chain

The Klon's clear midrange boost feeds the Echotopia's boutique tape echo a driven signal instead of a clean one, not really stacking gain with it.

Comes earlier in the signal chain

The Rangemaster's warm germanium treble boost feeds the Echotopia's boutique, stereo tape echo a brighter signal to trail off, not stacking gain with it.

Comes earlier in the signal chain

Run the Phase 90's classic sweep after the Echotopia's boutique tape echo and the modulation colors the repeats directly.

Comes earlier in the signal chain

Put the Small Stone's vowel-y analog sweep after the Echotopia's tape-style echoes so the phasing colors the repeats instead of the dry signal.
