Some amps are friendly with some pedals.
Some amps are friendly with some other pedals.
This is how I own so many other other pedals.
that would be one that's clean enough to not kill the pedal, I would have thought
Matchless DC30 cleanish
Dumble clone , Mayer-style, cleanish
some twins and I assume Deluxe reverbs
Hiwatt
Yes but if o took that to the 'nth degree then a flat PA would be the best pedal platform?
to my mind the natural compression and tone of the pre amp causes all that lovely drive and complexity, BUT. Is that not compromising elsewhere with modulation and time based fx?
What about when you turn the wick up?

Have you guessed I hate chorus?
Exactly what I'm talking about, people say it takes pedals well, but what pedals?
i have an Avid 11r which has models of all the usual suspects ( Rat,TS,Muff etc)
and I find I much prefer the Rat and Muff models to the real thing.
its rare anyone says " yeah tried a BassBreaker the other day, sounded great with my CarbonCopy but sucked with the DD7"
its almost always drive pedals people refer to when describing how 'friendly' an amp is to pedals.
you know, Big sky, etc
Best on an FX loop I guess for those FX
I think all the FX loops I've tried damaged the tone , even when using a Kleinulator, but I am more inclined to use a boutique amp with no pedals than most people
some ODs need a dirtier amp to round off their spikiness
I think you'd need to subdivide types of pedal before saying which amps work well:
e.g. an ultra clean Low-power Tweed twin will take all delay FX, compressors and mellow OD well, but not a fuzz box (I assume)
its something that piqued my curiosity after reading something on Gilmourish.com
Bjorn ( the guy running it and excellent guitarist with prog rock outfit Airbag) mentioned that F style amps give a less pronounced sound to Phaser/Flanger/Chorus as the lower mids give less emphasis on the sweep, but M style Amps are more extreme in the effects, he also mentioned that delay repeats often get in the way less on F style over M style again due to the mids.......
