Pedals that stack with the Empress Dist

Xotic EP Booster

Xotic EP Booster pushes a high gain tone toward clean boost

Shin's Music Dumbloid

Stack Shin's Music Dumbloid on top and a high gain tone tightens toward tight

Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Electric Mistress

Keep Empress Dist's high gain voice out front: Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Electric Mistress goes after Empress Dist in the signal chain so its modulated voice doesn't muddy it

Crazy Tube Circuits Golden Ratio

Crazy Tube Circuits Golden Ratio's own tight character is the real reason this is worth trying

Hungry Robot The Borderland

Keep Empress Dist's high gain voice out front: Hungry Robot The Borderland goes after Empress Dist in the signal chain so its modulated voice doesn't muddy it — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Hungry Robot Moby Dick V2

Run Hungry Robot Moby Dick V2 after Empress Dist in the signal chain, clear of Empress Dist's own gain stage — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)
