Pedals that stack with the Suhr Badger 18

pushes an already-dirty tonePushes an already-dirty tone harder and tightens it up. (high gain → mid-forward)

Feed a high gain signal into Catalinbread RAH and it comes out closer to mid-forward

Goes in front of the amp

clean platform takes the driveA clean, high-headroom stage takes on dirt it can't generate by itself. (transparent → low gain)

Suhr Badger 18 leans into Marshall-style amps, precisely the platform Browne Amplification Carbon wants

pushes an already-dirty tonePushes an already-dirty tone harder and tightens it up. (high gain → clean boost)

Feed a high gain signal into Analog Man King of Tone and it comes out closer to clean boost

Goes in front of the amp

sits in the right chain slotPlaced for where it does its job cleanly in the chain, not for a tonal interaction with the anchor.

Run MXR CSP-026 Handwired Vintage '74 Phase 90 after Suhr Badger 18 in the signal chain, clear of Suhr Badger 18's own gain stage

Goes in front of the amp

shapes the dynamic responseShapes how the tone responds to picking dynamics rather than its frequency or gain. (dynamic → compressed)

DSM & Humboldt ClearComp Compressor's own compressed character is the real reason this is worth trying
