Pedals that stack with the Harmony H605 Amplifier

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

Into a transparent tone, Colorsound Overdriver brings a pull toward fuzzy that's missing

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)

Into a transparent tone, Univox Super-Fuzz brings a pull toward mid-forward that's missing

The transparent tone has headroom to spare — Electro-Harmonix 1973 Violet Ram's Head Big Muff Pi V2 leans it toward mid-forward to fill it in

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

Vox Valvenergy Silk Drive leans toward smooth, and that's a real, usable character to pair with

Malekko Electro-Harmonix Memory Toy Analog Delay's modulated voice goes in Harmony H605 Amplifier's effects loop — it's not there to compete with Harmony H605 Amplifier's own transparent character — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)
