Pedals that stack with the Vertex Tone Secret

Browne Amplification Gritador

Stack Browne Amplification Gritador on top and a scooped tone tightens toward mid-forward

Electro-Harmonix "Ram's Head" Big Muff Pi V2

Boss RV-5 Digital Reverb

Boss RV-5 Digital Reverb's spring voice goes after Vertex Tone Secret in the signal chain — it's not there to compete with Vertex Tone Secret's own gritty character — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)
