Neovibe/Univibe and overdrive/fuzz

[mat]

Which one would You put first if you are looking for Robin Trower/David Gilmour type sound ? Vibe first or od/fuzz first ?

i like a fuzz set low before, and a overdrive or nice amp breakup afterwards.  with a strat, roll back the volume knob slightly to roll off some of the "swish".  the mayer axis fuzz, or a low hfe silicon FF sounds best with vibe to me FWIW. if you have a bright amp, you may have to roll off some treble.

So You would place the vibe between fuzz and od-pedal ? Thanks for the tip !

Anyone else would like to share an opinion ?

For me,  mod FX after distortion get too much "swish", before is subtler. Just my opinion.

I like OD always after the vibe, not before. Fuzz after the vibe works, too. For Hendrix @ Woodstock or Band Of Gypsys I like fuzz > vibe >OD or overdriven amp. My pedalboard has Octavia & fuzz before the vibe, & all other dirt pedals after it. But, I've thinking about making a juggler pedal to be able to switch the vibe from before to after fuzz.
