I plugged my guitar into the microphone input of my mom's Wollensak tape recorder (it had a PA setting) and then plugged one end of a guitar cord into the external speaker output and the other end into my Supro amplifier.
It made for a cool fuzz tone before the Maestro Fuzztone had shown up in music stores.
This would have been in the early 60's.
There was a Ventures tune called the 2000 Pound Bee that I liked.
They must have done something similar to get that sound.

David Gilmour was pretty well known for stacking gain pedals. A lot of his fuzz sounds are a big muff into a just slightly gainy powerbooster or tube driver. I'm not sure if he does it to combine the character of the two pedals, to add mids, to cut some of the wilder highs/lows . . . but he definitely does it.

I mean I've done it with my Klon and Dover Drive so I'm NOT putting myself in a different category than the rest of you.
But I've never done such a thing on a gig or felt the need to.

I love stacking gain pedals.
But then, most of you already know that.

I guess because my guitar sound on a gig doesn't rely on overdrive pedals and on the gigs I play a heavily overdriven tone is sort of frowned upon.
On a gig I wind up playing much cleaner than I do at home. It's just more appropriate.
But I have a ball rocking out and playing with overdrive at home!
