Pedals that stack with the Laney Cub 8 Valve

Greer Mizuki blue

The Mizuki's warm, bluesy overdrive pushes the Cub 8's bright valve breakup into something rounder and more musical.

EarthQuaker Devices Hoof

The Cub 8's chimey, British valve breakup gives the Hoof's hybrid, bluesy crunch a warm amp voice to push into.

Hughes & Kettner Tube Rotosphere MKII The Analog Leslie Simulator

Run the Cub 8's bright, breakup-prone tube tone into the Rotosphere and its Leslie swirl rides on top of that breakup instead of stacking gain.

Xotic BB Preamp

Push the Cub 8's small-amp breakup with the BB Preamp's creamy crunch for a fuller, more amp-like saturation.

BBE OptiComp

The OptiComp's simple, optical squash evens out the attack before it ever reaches the Cub 8's own bright, valve breakup.

MXR Analog Delay

Run the Analog Delay in the Cub 8's loop so its warm slapback repeats stay after the amp's own breakup, not in front of it. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Empress Echosystem

Keep the Echosystem in the Cub 8's loop and its shimmering digital reverb trails that amp's own bright, driven breakup instead of washing it out. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)
