Pedals that stack with the Friedman Little Sister Head

clean platform takes the driveA clean, high-headroom stage takes on dirt it can't generate by itself. (transparent → low gain)

Friedman Little Sister Head leans into Marshall-style amps, precisely the platform Browne Amplification Carbon wants

Goes in front of the amp

fills a frequency gapFills in a frequency range the other side doesn't cover, instead of piling more onto what's already there. (transparent → mid-forward)

Run Catalinbread RAH into that transparent platform and it finally leans toward mid-forward

Goes in front of the amp

pushes an amp at the edge of breakupPushes an amp already sitting at the edge of breakup over the line. (edge of breakup → clean boost)

Feed a edge of breakup signal into Analog Man King of Tone and it comes out closer to clean boost

Goes in front of the amp

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

Put Earthquaker Devices Pyramids Stereo Flanging Device after Friedman Little Sister Head in the signal chain, clear of Friedman Little Sister Head's own gain stage

Goes in front of the amp

shapes the dynamic responseShapes how the tone responds to picking dynamics rather than its frequency or gain. (dynamic → compressed)

Wampler Mini Ego 76 Compressor's own compressed character is the real reason this is worth trying

Goes in front of the amp

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

Keep Neunaber Wet Mono Reverb Pedal in Friedman Little Sister Head's effects loop, clear of Friedman Little Sister Head's own gain stage — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)
