Pedals that stack with the MXR Micro Amp

Both lean toward high gain and clean boost respectively — close enough in character that they complement instead of clashing

Comes later in the signal chain

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

MXR Micro Amp stacks clean boost on top of the fuzzy already here

MXR Micro Amp's own clean boost character is the real reason this is worth trying
