Pedals that stack with the Malekko Helium MKI

Shin's Music Dumbloid

Shin's Music Dumbloid pushes a saturated tone toward tight

MXR Micro Amp

MXR Micro Amp pushes a saturated tone toward clean boost

Crazy Tube Circuits Golden Ratio

Crazy Tube Circuits Golden Ratio's own tight character is the real reason this is worth trying

Anarchy Audio Flutterby Tremolo

Run Flutterby's optical tremolo pulse after Helium MKI's psychedelic octave distortion settles, so the modulation moves a defined tone.

TC Electronic Triple Flashback Delay

TC Electronic Triple Flashback Delay's analog warmth voice goes after Malekko Helium MKI in the signal chain — it's not there to compete with Malekko Helium MKI's own octave character — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Mooer A7 Ambience

Keep Malekko Helium MKI's octave voice out front: Mooer A7 Ambience goes after Malekko Helium MKI in the signal chain so its pristine voice doesn't muddy it — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)
