Stack the Ages' saturating clean boost with the Hoof Reaper's own hybrid germanium-silicon fuzz and you're pushing an already-hot signal even harder.

The Mako D1's vintage stereo delay trails the Hoof Reaper's hybrid germanium-silicon fuzz with real harmonic content to echo. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

The Melee's massive, ambient noise-rock reverb gives the Hoof Reaper's hybrid germanium-silicon fuzz somewhere huge to decay into. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)
