stacking 2 distortion pedals

[justinhedrick]

i'm trying to stack 2 pedals together: 2 vintage rats, i have the "distortion" going into the "boost" if that makes sense.

i want to get a fuzzier sound, should i be running the boost into the distortion?

anyone?

I find it best to put the biggest one on the bottom when stacking, and then order by size.

Seriously though, the two things on the side of your head will give you a better answer than any of us. Well unless you have a sinus problem

Try it both ways, I don't think there's a "right" way to do this.
Think about your signal chain. Do you want to fuzz your guitar first and boost it or boost it and fuzz that...etc, etc..

A friend I work with swears by a tubescreamer into a rat. He boosts with the TS and then distorts that signal with the rat. Says the guitar will jump right out of your hands.

I'd dime the boost and run that into the dirtier rat.

I have a MKII clone and an original Screaming Tree.  I run the fuzz first.

Typically the higher gain pedal goes first with overdrives and distortions...fuzzes can be more unpredictable but you never can tell with bees*
