By nature the TS is mid-heavy, which is great for cutting through the mix. This means that the EQ and the clipping on the Plexi Drive will change the way the TS sounds. If you run the TS before the Plexi Drive, whatever signal is leaving the TS is going to use the Plexi as a “gateway” of sorts. What does this mean? Let’s use a TS-9 tube screamer and the Plexi Drive (JTM-45 style overdrive) as examples. When stacking 2 dirt pedals together, the second pedal in the chain dictates the overall tone of the stack.Here are a few tips when configuring your stacking setup to maximize tone:
There are several advantages to doing this, including extra control of the nuances of your EQ to how the gain reacts in terms of the bloom of the notes. In order to get these “stacked” pedals to sound and work properly you’ll need to use them a little differently than you would if they were ran alone. The term “stacking” refers to connecting more than one overdrive, distortion, or fuzz pedal together and using them both at the same time. One secret to finding that elusive perfect tone is to use two dirt pedals “stacked together” to cascade your gain structure instead of just running a single drive pedal with the gain all of the way up, or running a dirt pedal into a cranked amp. When it comes to guitar pedals/effects, there are endless possibilities of combinations to create the perfect tone for the scenario that you’re in, whether it’s just jamming at home with a jam track or in a live band setting in front of a packed venue.
