OD/Fuzz or Fuzz/OD

[Lazarus1140]

For those who, ocassionally if not always, run both at the same time:

What two pedals are you using, and what is your preference for order?

It is time to rebuild my board because many pedals have changed, and naturally I will experiment to see if I still prefer my current order which is Black Arts Pharoah into Piedmont Aluminum Falcon II, but I am curious as to what others prefer.

Fuzz (Fuzz Face, Tonebender, etc.) into OD, but a Pharaoh is a Russian Muff derivative and I put muffs after OD. I very rarely combine OD and Muff though, they have enough gain on their own and get out of control with clipping or a hot signal feeding it for me.

I use a pedal palette to control sequencing of pedals.

This way I can have fuzz into OD; then click a button and have OD into fuzz... all in one easy click of a button.

Fuzz = Wampler Velvet Fuzz
OD = Wampler Euphoria

Depends. I run them both ways and use the one that sounds best. However, the JCollocia Horus is my foundation; EVERYTHING else comes after the Horus.

Re: OD/Fuzz or Fuzz/OD

I've only done fuzz before od. It's been a germanium ff and a ts808. It smooths out the sputter, tightens the low end, and makes a cool fluid kind of fuzz. I only used that combo at home though, I haven't found a use for it in a band setting.

Tried both, and really I prefer OD then Fuzz, but the OD acts more as a clean boost (and a bit of treble boost as well). Bad Monkey into a Big Muff, I can get tighter lows that way. And it brings the Electric Wizard tones really close!

Re: OD/Fuzz or Fuzz/OD

I checked my session notes from the last album I recorded just to see what I ended up keeping when recording guitar parts, and discovered that typically I ran the order of foundation/OD > fuzz > boost.
