Signal chain: Boss NS-2 —> Polytune 3 Mini —> EHX Cock Fight —> Wampler Triumph —> Boss JB-2 —> EHX Big Muff tone wicker —> AMP Monoprice Stageright 611815 (JCM800 clone) —> NS-2 again —> Zoom Multistomp —> TC Electronic Bucket Brigade —> Digitech Polara —> Flamma multimod

I’m currently loving everything in this set up except for the JB-2. I love the blues driver side, especially stacked with the Triumph, but the Angry Charlie is hard for me to bone with. Its very situational for me because the Big Muff is my favorite high gain tone, but I rarely need to employ something that’s just a step below that. If anyone has some tips for it, LMK!

    Tell me about that Cockfight. What is it and what do you use it for?

      Its a Wah/Fuzz. I haven’t been able to find what kind of fuzz circuit it is, but it seems to be some kind of tone bender to my ears. The intent if the pedal is to simulate a parked wah sound by adjusting the treadle position with the freq knob. I use it as a regular wah pedal by plugging into the expression jack. There’s also a dip switch inside that switched the “fuzz off” setting on it to a “wah off” setting. Its both the most versatile fuzz and wah pedal I’ve ever used and I highly recommend it if you want to explore some insane dirt tones.

    Gain wise I always need a tune screamer on my board. Tune screamer and blues driver are great stacked. If you’re not into TS style pedals I recommend some sort of klon clone. People recommend the tumnus a lot, I just got a Golden horse for $25 and it is awesome for lower gain stuff

      The Triumph is a tube screamer, but I like rolling the mids off for a more flat eq. I have the golden horse but it’s been off of my board for a while so maybe I’ll try that between the muff and the triumph. I love the sound of the BD with the TS, its the perfect amount of harshness without being overbearingly shrill for me.

    Have you tried stacking either sides of the JB-2 with the Muff? I’d try turning the gain down and messing with the EQ on the JB-2 while it’s stacked with the Muff. You might need to play with the order a bit too. Of the pedals you have though the Triumph will probably compliment the Muff the most though.

    The Angry Charlie is also a JCM800 clone like your amp so it might be redundant but I’m not familiar with the Monoprice stuff.
