Pedals that stack with the Vox VT40X Classic Blue

Wampler Cory Wong

Into the VT40X's responsive Nutube-feel clean channel, the Cory Wong's punchy compression adds funk articulation the amp alone doesn't give you.

Ibanez Tube Screamer

The Screamer's mid-hump pushes the VT40X's driven tube models harder, the same way it would a real amp.

Dunlop Cry Baby

A tube-voiced amp like the VT40X gives the wah's vocal sweep somewhere with real gain to bite into.

Friedman BE-OD

The BE-OD's tight, modern high-gain pushes the VT40X's driven tube models harder, the same way it would a real amp.

Nobels ODR-1

The VT40X's tube-modeled breakup gives the ODR-1 something to push against, rather than just piling more gain onto a clean channel.

J. Rockett Archer

The VT40X's tube-modeled breakup gives the Archer's low-gain, creamy boost something real to push against instead of a flat clean.

Beetronics Buzzter Boost Preamp

The Buzzter's transparent boost pushes the VT40X's driven models harder, the same way it would a real tube amp.

Z.Vex Super Hard On

The VT40X's tube-modeled breakup gives the Super Hard On's clean JFET boost a real amp stage to push, not just added digital gain.

Greer Southland

Into the VT40X's driven tube models, the Southland's transparent boutique drive adds clarity rather than more mud.

JAM Pedals Tubedreamer

Into the VT40X's driven tube models, the Tubedreamer's compressed, TS-voiced clarity adds real gain rather than just more mud.

Electro-Harmonix Electric Mistress

Add the Electric Mistress' lush flange after the VT40X's driven tube models for a reverse-tape sweep on top.

Boss RV-5 Digital Reverb

Into the VT40X's Nutube-driven, responsive breakup, the RV-5's reverb has a clean, dynamic platform to build ambient space on. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Origin Effects Halcyon Green Overdrive

The Halcyon Green's dynamic, tube-like response needs real headroom, and the VT40X's clean valve-modeled channel gives it room to breathe.

Univox Uni-Vibe

Into the VT40X's driven tube models, the Uni-Vibe's watery, psychedelic modulation gets real gain to swirl through.

Origin Effects M-EQ Driver

Run mid-forward into Vox VT40X Classic Blue for more high gain on top

Ibanez CS9 Stereo Chorus

Into the VT40X's driven tube models, the CS9's lush jazz-fusion chorus gets real gain to sit on top of.

Caroline Guitar Company Parabola State Tremolo

Vox's clean channel gives the Parabola's tremolo room to pulse clearly before any onboard breakup muddies the modulation.

Hungry Robot Moby Dick V2

Run the Moby Dick in the VT40X's loop — massive, lush ambient reverb the amp's own modeled tones don't reach. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Jam Pedals Wahcko

Into the VT40X's clean valve channel, the Wahcko's expressive wah sweep stays articulate instead of getting buried.

Vox VT40X Classic Blue layers high gain onto an already mid-forward signal

Run Vox VT40X Classic Blue into that transparent platform and it finally gets some high gain
