Dude - amazing tone. There should be some kind of award for this. I'm in my 4th decade playing guitar and I have spent the last decade trying to escape the wall of mud sound. I've ended my journey with single coils (or parallel wired buckers) into a compressor -> TS808 (solo only) -> Tumnus -> JRAD .45 (similar to morning glory) -> jumpered 68 Custom Deluxe Reverb with the negative feedback resistor changed to blackface (820 ohm). Similar gain stacking as your rig and very clean, warm overdrive. Peace man, awesome job and great video!
Hey! So depending on the guitar and your touch, you can get pretty close to clean but I find that it’s still pretty gritting. However, I like that edge of breakup sound so it works for me.
Hey! So yes, to both questions. For me, mids are the key to cutting through a mix, so I personally look for mid-boosting style drives. As far as compression, it can of course bring up noise so it's important to find the sweet spot on your compression. Using a compressor with multiple options such as "blend" features to assist with keeping the noise down a bit.
For years I was the same way. I think when I started playing more ambient style music, I realized I wanted a more dialed in tones to support the effects. So compression became a must have for me! So for me, it depends on the music I’m playing. Thank you so much for watching!
You don't need compression with overdrive, overdrives function as a compressor, especially when using higher gain or stacking. The compressor is only going to muddy your tone, you will lose all your dynamics (cleaning up with the volume knob or lighter playing), and adds a lot of noise. I have the deep six, I always have it on for clean tones, but as soon as I use any type of gain it is off.
Great notes here. I personally like compression with OD. I think it depends on the type of music you’re covering. But, it’s totally up to your personal taste. Thanks for the insight!
Sorry for the audio in the beginning and end of the video. Technical difficulties! Won’t happen again! Thanks for watching and enjoy the video.
Ah. Thanks. Ignore my comment earlier
@@Dannys.channel no problem! Thank you!

Peace man, awesome job and great video!
🙏🏼 Thank you so much for the kind words!!!
Awesome and great explanation!!!👍👀🎶🎵
This is a very sensible and straight ahead way of stacking. Thanks man 🤙🏼
Thank you for watching!!
Just got a Tumnus mini, already have a J rockett Blue Note pedal and the mini TS. great stacking, great sound. Thanks for your wisdom.
Great set up! And thank YOU 🙏🏼
Liked and Subscribed! Question (apologies if I missed this) - can you still clean up your tone with guitar volume knob with all 4 pedals on?
Hey! So depending on the guitar and your touch, you can get pretty close to clean but I find that it’s still pretty gritting. However, I like that edge of breakup sound so it works for me.
You rock buddy!
Thank you so much for the support!
That’s weird your panned to the left and the music is all on the right. Can’t hear good without being distracted
do you find the tumnus adds a lot of mids? also do you not find the compressor adds a lot of noise with the other gains?

I dont understand why all this fuss about compressor, never liked it on my board, sounds nice on yours, thanks!

Hello sir, what is the chain in order of this drives?
Hey! So the order is how it’s shown on screen RIGHT-to-LEFT. Deep 6->Morning Glory->Tumnus->TS Mini.

Great video , killing tones.
