Randall NB King 112 Nuno Bettencourt Signature 30W 1x12 Combo
Randall
25% matchgain stackingStacks two gain stages for more saturation than either produces alone. (mid-forward → fuzzy)
Zvex Fuzz Probe stacks fuzzy on top of the mid-forward already here

Bartel Swingland 3W 1x12 Combo
Bartel
24% matchgain stackingStacks two gain stages for more saturation than either produces alone. (mid-forward → fuzzy)
Put Zvex Fuzz Probe in front and the mid-forward tone leans further toward fuzzy
Comes later in the signal chain
Magnatone 280
Magnatone
24% matchsits in the right chain slotPlaced for where it does its job cleanly in the chain, not for a tonal interaction with the anchor. (fuzzy → modulated)
The 280's true-pitch vibrato wraps the Fuzz Probe's experimental, gated fuzz in a swirling stereo spread.

Fender Vibrolux 6G11
amplifier
24% matchsits in the right chain slotPlaced for where it does its job cleanly in the chain, not for a tonal interaction with the anchor. (fuzzy → modulated)
Into the Vibrolux's sweet, classic Fender vibrato tone, the Fuzz Probe's thick, experimental gated fuzz has a genuinely vintage amp voice to push into.
