Pedals that stack with the JHS Emperor

Suhr Rufus Reloaded

Chase the Rufus Reloaded's high-gain fuzz with the Emperor's chorus and the modulation has real harmonic content to move through.

Fjord Fuzz Berserk

The Berserk's aggressive, doom-leaning fuzz is a much heavier gain than the Emperor's own chorus and vibrato character offers on its own.

Red Witch Titan

Keep JHS Emperor after Red Witch Titan in the signal chain, clear of Red Witch Titan's own gain stage — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Electronic Audio Experiments Eldritch Blast V2

Run the Emperor's rotary, pitch-modulated chorus after the Eldritch Blast's touch-sensitive, high-gain fuzz and the modulation has real saturation to color.

EarthQuaker Devices Zoar V1 Dynamic Audio Grinder

Keep EarthQuaker Devices Zoar V1 Dynamic Audio Grinder's fuzzy voice out front: JHS Emperor goes after EarthQuaker Devices Zoar V1 Dynamic Audio Grinder in the signal chain so its modulated voice doesn't muddy it

Rainger FX Chop Fuzzz

JHS Emperor's modulated voice goes after Rainger FX Chop Fuzzz in the signal chain — it's not there to compete with Rainger FX Chop Fuzzz's own fuzzy character

Black Arts Toneworks Destroyer V2

Run JHS Emperor after Black Arts Toneworks Destroyer V2 in the signal chain, clear of Black Arts Toneworks Destroyer V2's own gain stage

Suhr Thornicus Ian Thornly Signature Fuzz

Run JHS Emperor after Suhr Thornicus Ian Thornly Signature Fuzz in the signal chain, clear of Suhr Thornicus Ian Thornly Signature Fuzz's own gain stage

Catalinbread MontaVillian

Keep JHS Emperor after Catalinbread MontaVillian in the signal chain, clear of Catalinbread MontaVillian's own gain stage — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Dawner Prince Boonar

The Emperor's rotary, pitch-modulated chorus trails into the Boonar's vintage studio delay with a swirling signal to echo. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Crowther Prunes

Put JHS Emperor after Crowther Prunes in the signal chain, clear of Crowther Prunes's own gain stage

Mr. Black Bloodmoon

Let the Bloodmoon's dark, creamy reverb trail the Emperor's chorus and rotary swirl for extra depth. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)
