Pedals that stack with the Hughes & Kettner Ampman/Clas

Warm Audios Throne of Tone

Into Warm Audios Throne of Tone, Hughes & Kettner Ampman/Clas is right at home: it's built around a clean amp's front end

Beetronics Buzzter Boost Preamp

Push the Ampman's vintage, classic-rock clean channel with the Buzzter's transparent tube boost and the crunch opens up naturally.

Marshall Guv'nor

Guv'nor's balanced, vocal-like crunch stacks onto the Ampman/Clas's own vintage tube gain for a fuller classic-rock drive.

Univox Super-Fuzz

The Super-Fuzz's raw, octave-scooped fuzz is a rougher gain than the Ampman's own vintage tube crunch offers on its own.

Wampler Cory Wong

Cory Wong's optical compression ahead of the Ampman/Clas keeps funk dynamics tight before the pedal's own tube crunch.

Caroline Guitar Company Parabola State Tremolo

The Ampman's preamp-in-a-box crunch gives the Parabola's tremolo a driven, amp-like signal to pulse instead of a flat DI tone.

Dunlop MXR M299 Carbon Copy Mini

The Carbon Copy Mini's dark, ambient slapback delay belongs in the Ampman's loop, clear of the amp's own vintage, classic-rock clean channel. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

ThorpyFX ER-2 Block 2

What Hughes & Kettner Ampman/Clas brings here leans toward crunchy — that's worth building a pairing around

Catalinbread Epoch-Set

The Epoch-Set's warm, lower-mid tape echo belongs in the Ampman's loop, clear of the amp's own vintage, classic-rock clean channel. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)
