Pedals that stack with the Ibanez Tube Screamer

Ashdown Studio Compressor

The Screamer's mid-forward boost pushes into the Studio Compressor's low-noise, gain-evening squash for a driven signal.

Suhr Rufus Reloaded

Run the Rufus in front of the Screamer so the high-gain fuzz gets tightened by the mid-hump instead of drowning it.

Audiocade 1974 Colorsound Tremolo Clone

The Screamer's mid-forward boost rides on top of the Tremolo Clone's organic pulse rather than stacking any real gain with it.

MXR Analog Delay

Analog Delay's dry, warm slapback isn't a gain stage — it trails the Tube Screamer's own blues boost with echo instead of more drive. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Beetronics Nectar

The Tube Screamer's mid-forward clipping gives the Nectar's low-gain drive a boost to sit on top of, rather than two pedals fighting for the same gain range.

Origin Effects RevivalDrive

Stack the Screamer's mid-hump after the RevivalDrive's dynamic, tube-like compression for two distinct drive characters, not a wall of gain.

Ibanez Pentatone Preamp

Stack the Screamer's mid-hump on the Pentatone's own direct-recording drive for a rounder push than either pedal alone gives a DI signal.

Walrus Audio Ages

The Ages' full, saturated overdrive gives the Screamer's mid-hump a beefier front end to stack on rather than just adding volume.

Catalinbread Giygas

The Screamer's mid-forward boost can tighten the Giygas' massive, shimmering fuzz ahead of it.

Catalinbread Formula 55

The Screamer's mid-forward boost stacks with the Formula 55's own bright, tweed-amp sag and bloom.

Sola Sound Tone Bender MK1

Tone Bender MK1's transistor fuzz stacks ahead of the Tube Screamer for a thicker, more British-voiced wall of gain.

Walrus Audio Eons

The Screamer's mid-hump tightens the Eons' thick, low-gain fuzz platform instead of just adding more gain.

Browne Amplification Carbon

The Screamer's mid-forward boost stacks with the Carbon's own warm, clean-boosted crunch.

Wampler Latitude Deluxe Tremolo

Push the Latitude's bell-like, synth-voiced tremolo with the Screamer's mid-forward boost and the pulse has more gain to color.

Vox Valvenergy Copperhead Drive

Stack two midrange-forward drives - the Copperhead's British sizzle in front of the Screamer's own bump - for a thicker push.

Mr. Black Bloodmoon

Put the Bloodmoon at the end of the chain — the Screamer's mid-forward push stays crisp while the reverb goes dark and doomy behind it. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Walrus Audio EB-10

The EB-10's boutique preamp boost stacks with the Screamer's own mid-forward drive for extra shaping.

EarthQuaker Devices Chelsea

The Screamer's mid-forward boost stacks with the Chelsea's own bright, British-voiced drive.

Friedman BE-OD

The Screamer's mid-forward boost stacks with the BE-OD's own tight, hard-rock gain.

Shin's Music Dumbloid

The Dumbloid's articulate, Dumble-chasing drive stacks naturally with the Screamer's own mid-forward boost — both live in that same smooth, low-gain space.

Roland SDE-3000D

The SDE-3000D's iconic digital delay follows the Screamer's mid-forward boost for a defined echo. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Catalinbread Galileo

The Screamer's mid-forward boost stacks with the Galileo's own bright, pickup-tuned overdrive.

Fender Blender

The Screamer's mid-forward boost can tame and focus the Blender's dry, psychedelic octave fuzz ahead of it.

Benson Amps Stonk BOX

The Screamer's mid-hump tightens the Stonk BOX's raw germanium fuzz instead of just adding more gain.
