I've always preferred the tone of boost/OD/distortion/fuzz pedals in isolation. I tend to always have "something" on, be it a Southampton Fifth Gear or SolidGoldFX Beta or Fuzzrocious Rat King but never stacked on top of each other. I've read about people stacking something like the Fifth Gear > OD or fuzz and having good experiences with their tone. To me, and perhaps it's how I do it, it tends to get muddy and indistinct.
If one was to go boost > OD, do you drop some of the gain in the boost so that its effect is more subtle than what you'd do alone? I usually have gain/heat 2/3's up- Thought I'd ask how others stack: boost>OD, OD>OD, etc...
