Couple of doom room notes:
1) This album fucking slays and you will like it:
https://pigspigspigspigspigspigspigs.ba ... the-rats-2
2) Was at the Sunn gig in London talking to an older guy and the subject of "loudest band ever" came up. Sometime-ILF breaux Bodies on Everest were name dropped by this 60+ year old dude. I was pretty fucking hyped on that. Also I've seen more and more real life folks getting on the Whores wagon, which is quite rad, as well -- and I've met a couple more people who are stoked on Druden and Falls of R, which is killer.
3) I love fucking around with Euro and digital manipulation and the like, but beer-and-bud soaked jams presented via loud tube amps are still the best.

My original thought was to do that for an AG. I'll let you know how it goes. I also sing, so I don't like to have to do extra stuff with my hands while I play. I imagine, I'd back off the gain on an AG and run it into a Pharaoh than the other way around. The crunchy Muffs like to go last.
Definitely let me know how that works out if you to that route dude. Yeah I tend to like boosting muffs as well, but it would be rad if the AG acted more like an amp being hit with the muff though.

I use a Meathead deluxe clone for my main rhythm sounds. The new Meathead with the volume knob footswitch is my overdrive and solo distortion. Meatheads usually hate to be stacked, but Meathead into Meathead sounds like a middier Meathead with truly infinite sustain. The two switches are independent so I can back off the volume going into any pedal if I want to. Even if I end up using other dirt, I can't really see a downside to starting a signal chain with a FF-based Fuzz/volume switcher.
I can't really tell you how the volume switcher would work between Muff and an Acapulco Gold, though. The volume opens up the stacked Meatheads somewhat, but they're very blunt instruments once they're stacked. I bet you could get some decent sounds with more controllable fuzzes.
Now I want a dual pedal with the volume knob on one side and an Arrows on the other, with one on/off switch and one A/B switch. That would give me three separate gain levels that would be easily footswitchable and could run into any pedal or amp. Why doesn't someone already do this? For some reason, it takes a lot of brain power for me to mess with knobs on my guitar, and no brain power to stomp on a switch, so this is great.
