Klon, ODR-1, BluesBreaker stacking - which order?

[Peteurre]

Hi all!

On my current "small" board I have both a Klon-style pedal (mini Tumnus), an ODR-1 (Wampler Belle) and a BB-style pedal (Wampler Pantheon), and I'm sure a lot of you guys have at least two of these styles of circuits on your board, so I'm curious to hear how you like to stack them - which order, and how "hot" do you run them?
My problem at the moment is, that I kinda prefer all three of them at a a low gain setting, which makes me suffer from decision paralysis, when I want to gear up for a lead part..

At the moment I'm running Tumnus - Belle - Pantheon - clean boost (vol. boost for lead), but I've been diggin' the Tumnus with the gain turned up around 70pct lately, so I'm no sure if I should change my order to get the best from all pedals?

Rig is Teles and Strats into Deluxe Reverb, mostly Americana stuff

The running order you describe is how I would set it up, too, besides, I would put the Klon after the Belle and Pantheon.

Having the drives set at low gain leaves you the most options when combining, imho, but I can relate to the decision paralysis

I have a Ceriatone Centura, a Timmy and a zillion Barber drives. Not sure if any Barber or the Timmy is based on ODR or BB.

I love the Centura after these drives and mainly use it as a colouring clean boost. Well, maybe not really as a boost, as it is always on
Stacking drives depends on application. I love slightly overdriven sounds a lot and this is what I use mainly. So I focus on that sound. If I have a setting/pedal I like, I just add a higher gain pedal after it and adjust the stacked sound only via the higher gain pedal, and leave my main drive untouched.

If I want to go more flexible, I use a drive pedal, going into a Naga Viper, from there to another drive pedal, and from there into the Centura. That gives me a lot of sounds, and the only thing you don't want is to use the first drive pedal in combination with the Naga, because that will be too loud Otherwise, it's a great setup. If I play a setup like that, I usually set the drive pedals pretty low gain.

I actually never liked to boost pedals with the Klon, don't know why. But I sometimes use 2 Klon type pedals set as clean boost and stack them, that can make a huge sound at low levels. Doesn't sound so good when at band level.

And something I always recommend at leat to try: put an overdrive in the FX loop of an amp. I once put a Menatone Kar Krash, which was just too crazy bright in the FX loop of a Blues DeVille 4x10 and it was one of the best sounds I can remember. I also put a Tube Factor in the (pretty bad) FX loop of a Soldano Hotrod 50, and it sounded like instant Gary Moore.

My main amp is a Deluxe Reverb as well.

You don't say... Got a Kar Krash, never tried it in the loop.

I don't have any of the Wampler versions but here goes. The ODR-1 is a fantastic with a tele bridge pickup. The BB is fantastic for glassy strat tones and light OD. Klon is great for colored boost or a third OD. Use each of the above for what it's best at. I'm not sure there's any improvement to be had by stacking.

I always go light to heavy Adds more girth

BB into ODR1 and I’d ditch the Klon.

Duke of tone, kharma odr, then centura

I already had the same combination with tele + Deluxe Reverb, and I still occasionally use it as follows: Tumnus (used for clean tone alone or dirty boost for Belle) > Belle (main overdrive) > POT (used for volume cleanish boost for solo).

But If I used one clean boost at the end of the chain like you. Maybe I would do the following: Tumnus (clean tones and dirty boost) > POT (light overdrive) > Belle (medium overdrive) > Clean Boost (volume boost).
