Pedals that stack with the MXR Micro Amp

What MXR Micro Amp brings here leans toward clean boost — that's worth building a pairing around

Comes later in the signal chain

MXR Micro Amp takes that edge of breakup character and pushes it toward clean boost

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

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

Comes later in the signal chain

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

Put MXR Micro Amp in front and the fuzzy tone leans further toward clean boost

Comes later in the signal chain

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)

Run MXR Micro Amp after it and the bright edge settles into something more warm

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

sits in the right chain slotPlaced for where it does its job cleanly in the chain, not for a tonal interaction with the anchor.

The Micro Amp's simple, transparent clean boost feeds the Boonar's Echorec-style repeats a brighter signal to echo. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)
