Univox Super-Fuzz
Univox
21% matchshapes the dynamic responseShapes how the tone responds to picking dynamics rather than its frequency or gain. (dynamic → compressed)
Univox Super-Fuzz leans this dynamic tone toward compressed, which it doesn't make on its own
Goes in front of the amp
Colorsound Overdriver

EarthQuaker Devices Plumes Signal Shredder
EarthQuaker Devices
19% matchclean platform takes the driveA clean, high-headroom stage takes on dirt it can't generate by itself. (transparent → low gain)
Run EarthQuaker Devices Plumes Signal Shredder into that transparent platform and it finally leans toward low gain

Universal Audio 1176 Compressor
Universal Audio
14% matchshapes the dynamic responseShapes how the tone responds to picking dynamics rather than its frequency or gain. (dynamic → compressed)
PRS "30" Amplifier's dynamic character and Universal Audio 1176 Compressor's compressed voice sit in the same lane rather than fighting each other

EarthQuaker Devices Grand Orbiter V3
EarthQuaker Devices
13% matchsits in the right chain slotPlaced for where it does its job cleanly in the chain, not for a tonal interaction with the anchor.
Keep EarthQuaker Devices Grand Orbiter V3 after PRS "30" Amplifier in the signal chain, clear of PRS "30" Amplifier's own gain stage
