Pedals that stack with the Electro-Harmonix Bad

Klon Centaur

Running the Bad Stone's phase sweep after the Klon keeps the swirl reading clearly against the drive instead of blurring into it.

Beetronics Overhive

Run the phaser after the Overhive's transparent medium-gain drive so the sweep colors an already-shaped signal instead of a raw one.

Catalinbread Giygas

Catalinbread Giygas layers octave onto an already fuzzy signal

Nobels ODR-1

The Bad Stone's resonant, organic phase sweep follows the ODR-1's thick, transparent mid-drive for added motion.

Beetronics Swarm

Beetronics Swarm layers modulated onto an already fuzzy signal

Walrus Audio Mako D1 High-Fidelity Stereo Delay V1

Run the Bad's watery, resonant phase before the Mako D1's delay, so the repeats echo a modulated tone instead of drowning it out. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

JAM Pedals Tubedreamer

The Bad Stone's resonant, organic phase sweep follows the Tubedreamer's TS-voiced, boutique compression for added motion.

Z.Vex Super Hard On

The Super Hard On's clean JFET boost gives the Bad's subtle phase sweep more level to work with, without changing its organic character.

Greer Southland

The Bad Stone's resonant, organic phase sweep follows the Southland's transparent, boutique drive for added motion.

Electro-Harmonix Canyon

The Bad Stone's resonant, organic phase sweep follows the Canyon's looping analog delay for added motion. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Mad Professor Sweet Honey Overdrive

Layer the EHX Bad's resonant, organic sweep after the Sweet Honey's natural drive for classic-rock movement on top of it.

Keeley Halo

The Bad Stone's resonant, organic phase sweep follows the Halo's ambient, dual-voice delay for layered motion. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Strymon BigSky

The BigSky's ambient, shimmering reverb gives the Bad's resonant phase sweep somewhere spacious to color into. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Max

Run the Bad's woolly, resonant phase sweep after the Holy Grail Max's natural spring reverb so the modulation colors the wash instead of the dry signal. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Pete Cornish LD-1

The LD-1's consistent, boutique-buffered signal gives the Bad's resonant phase sweep a reliable, defined signal to color.

EarthQuaker Devices Plumes Signal Shredder

Run the Bad's resonant, organic phase sweep after the Plumes' buffered, transparent low-gain clipping and the modulation has real body to color.

Electronic Audio Experiments Halberd

Run the Bad's resonant, organic phase sweep after the Halberd's touch-sensitive transistor overdrive and the modulation has real saturation to color.

Crazy Tube Circuits Ziggy Overdrive

Run the Bad's woolly, resonant phase sweep after the Ziggy's rich, driven gain and the modulation stays clearly audible on top of the saturation.

J. Rockett Majestic

Put the Bad's watery, resonant sweep after the Majestic's rich, Klon-adjacent drive so the modulation rides clearly on top of that harmonic complexity.

Lovepedal Eternity

Run the Bad's woolly phase sweep after the Eternity's transparent, natural drive so the modulation stays the star of an unclouded signal.

Vertex Steel String

The Steel String's transparent, consistent touring drive gives the Bad's resonant phase sweep a natural signal to color.

Electro-Harmonix LPB-1

Ahead of the Bad, the LPB-1's natural, transparent transistor boost pushes the signal harder before the modulation ever colors it.

Truetone V3 Route 66 Overdrive

The Route 66's compressed, American-rock drive gives the Bad's resonant phase sweep a punchy signal to color.

NuX Metal Core Deluxe MKII

The Metal Core's tight, direct-recording metal gain gives the Bad's resonant phase sweep serious harmonic content to color.
