Pedals that stack with the Hudson Electronics Broadcast Discrete Class-A Germanium Preamplifier

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

Electro-Harmonix M76 Studio Compressor's own compressed character is the real reason this is worth trying

Comes earlier in the signal chain

pushes an already-dirty tonePushes an already-dirty tone harder and tightens it up. (saturated → clean boost)

The Super Hard On's clean JFET boost pushes the Broadcast's own germanium clean-boost preamp louder without recoloring it.
