Hi guys! :)
I'm thinking to add to my pedalboard a 3Leaf You're Doom (beside the Chunk Systems Brown Dog).

Unfortunately, I can't try the You're Doom with my rig and my other pedals... :(

I would use the Chunk for a more synthy-gated fuzz (in order to emulate some kind of "bass-keys" sounds like this one ) and the You're Doom to add a "dirty synthy Moog" ingredient to my clean signal.

Is that correct or I'm out of the road?

Could you describe the You're Doom, compared to the Brown Dog (if you haven't it, take a listen to the YT samples ;) )

Thank you all very much in advance for your comments. :)

I think there is a big difference between my you're doom and my tafm. So yeah you're thinking right in using them differently. The you're doom sounds incredible, it has a very unique fuzz sound. The sounds produced are based on your dynamics, thumb muting is great for that moog envelope decay sound. And it sounds incredible with an envelope filter, very Stevie wonder like. I will say, you really have to spend time fine tuning, its not really a knob twiddling pedal, once I found the setting I like I leave it there.

Another You're Doom and TAFM (fuzz with gate switch) user here. I think that you're definitely on the right track. I use each of them very differently, and not unlike what you're aiming for. I believe that the You're Doom is a really versatile pedal. By itself, I'll use at low gain settings to get some nice break up to add to my tone, and at higher gain settings as an awesome fuzz that is dead quiet, and sounds great in a mix. And with other pedals (filters, octaves, choruses, whatever), I'll use it for all kinds of synthy, syrupy, and doomy sounds (seriously, You're Doom + chorus can get really wicked and doomy).

So if you're thinking of maybe adding a You're Doom, I say go for it. Like I said, I have one, and a gated fuzz (as well as other synth considerations) and I'm not planning on getting rid of either any time soon.
