I have a 1/2 Gainer and I'm looking at either using it as a clean boost/mild gain on one channel and then medium gain on channel two so it can be paired with a higher gain pedal afterwards....OR...put a light gain pedal before it and then use one channel on the 1/2 Gainer as light/medium gain and the second channel as higher gain. To get higher gain though, I'm assuming I'd have to stack it with the light gain pedal in front. So, my questions....
1. Which one of the Barber pedals would you recommend to go after it to act as a higher gain pedal? Ideally, it'd be nice to have it be able to stack with the cleaner side of the 1/2 Gainer.
2. Which one of the Barber pedals would you recommend to go in front of it to act as a clean boost/light gain, with the ability to be stacked with either channel of the 1/2 Gainer?
FWIW, I'm using a tele with single coils and a Vox AC15C1 with the bright cap mod.
