Pedals that stack with the EarthQuaker Devices Grand Orbiter

The Odin's doom-heavy stoner fuzz gives the Grand Orbiter's subtle, optical phase sweep a dense signal to color instead of a clean one.

Comes earlier in the signal chain

The Grand Orbiter's subtle, optical phase sweep doesn't stack gain with the Dirt Transmitter — it just colors the driven signal directly.
