I used to do it all the time with my DS-1 followed by my Bad Monkey to my C-30. Got that from Spud. After getting my Rodent, I started doing it less, as the Rodent sounded better on its own than the DS-1 did, and I did not think the Bad Monkey added that much to the Rodent that a volume knob or boost didn't do better. Now that I got the ZYS as well, I have started to experiment with it again, cause I think I will be able to get some pretty cool cascaded sounds from those two. The ZYS is cleaner overall than the Monkey, and so throws less of a blanket over the Rodent.
The DS-1 benefited a bit from the Monkey's "blanket" as it made it less shrill.
