    Congrats on your pedal buy. I might look into Catalinbread Dirty Little Secrets pedal.

    Based on the vids I watched, that one looks good too. It is one of their "foundation" pedals that are designed to be on and creating a base tone that can be controlled with the volume knob, and stacked with other pedals.

    SVL.......do you feel the Formula No 5 is a "foundation" pedal too.......and that you would add boost/drive/distortion on top of it?

    Yes, it is one of their foundation pedals. Based more on the 1x12 Tweed Deluxe. So a little more direct than the other one. Which seems to work well to bring what I want out of my 4x10 in combination. I have not stacked more drive on top of it yet, but have played with some chorus on top. The other one (5f6) is based on the bassman. The bassman is a sound I really like. And the pedal also seems very versatile. Maybe more so with additional controls. But this one that I happened to get by throwing an offer out on Reverb.com which was accepted, seems to work well with my amph to get what I want. It is a little hotter and more direct I think.
