Pedals that stack with the Vemuram Shanks

Ashdown Geezer Butler Signature

The Shanks' warm, natural overdrive stacks cleanly ahead of the Geezer Butler's doom-voiced drive for a fuller gain layer.

Dr. Scientist Frazz Dazzler

Stack the Shanks' warm, touch-sensitive drive with the Frazz Dazzler's own gated, low-gain fuzz for two distinct low-gain textures.

MXR Dyna Comp

Ahead of the Shanks' natural, touch-sensitive overdrive, the Dyna Comp's sustain evens out attack before the boutique drive's own dynamic response takes over.

Walrus Audio Lillian

Add the Lillian's modern, bright phase sweep on top of the Shanks' natural, touch-sensitive drive for subtle movement.

Boss RV-5 Digital Reverb

Let the Shanks' natural, touch-sensitive overdrive shape the drive first; the RV-5's reverb just adds space after it. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Meris Polymoon

The Shanks' natural, touch-sensitive drive gives the Polymoon's modulated delay a warm, responsive signal to work with. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)
