Pedals that stack with the MXR Micro Amp

The Micro Amp's simple, transparent clean boost stacks with the Screamer's own mid-forward drive.

“An adjustable, switchable boost circuit based on the MXR Micro Amp lets players match their guitar's output and volume to the wah for a more consistent feel.”— from the dunlop-bb535r-cry-baby-bb535-wah-reissue listing

Comes earlier in the signal chain

The Micro Amp's clean, transparent boost pushes the Klon's midrange breakup harder without adding its own coloration.

gain stackingStacks two gain stages for more saturation than either produces alone. (fuzzy → clean boost)

The Micro Amp's simple, transparent clean boost pushes the Fuzz Factory's germanium gating harder for more gate/noise character.

Comes later in the signal chain

pushes an already-dirty tonePushes an already-dirty tone harder and tightens it up. (saturated → clean boost)

Feed a saturated signal into MXR Micro Amp and it comes out closer to clean boost

pushes an already-dirty tonePushes an already-dirty tone harder and tightens it up. (crunchy → clean boost)

MXR Micro Amp pushes a crunchy tone toward clean boost

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

Where this leans bright, MXR Micro Amp answers back warm
