Pedals that stack with the Cusack Music Louder

Beetronics Overhive

The Louder's transparent, boutique clean boost gives the Overhive's medium-gain drive extra push without changing its color.

JHS Smiley

Stack the Smiley's clear, compressed fuzz after the Louder's transparent boost for extra push without losing that fuzz's midrange bite.

MXR Dyna Comp

The Dyna Comp's transient squash evens out the pick attack before it ever reaches the Louder's own transparent clean boost.

Electro-Harmonix Bad

Run the Bad's woolly phase sweep after the Louder's transparent, minimal-coloration boost so the modulation stays the star of the signal.

Meris Polymoon

Feed the Polymoon's stereo phaser-flanger-delay stack with the Louder's transparent clean boost and there's plenty of clean signal for it to color. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Neunaber Wet Mono Reverb Pedal

Feed the Wet Reverb's subtle, studio-grade wash with the Louder's clean, consistent boost so the decay stays defined instead of murky. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)
