Dual pedal concept, Hot Cake + Vox in box ?

[slowpogo]

The Hot Cake is known to be great with chimey amps like the AC30. So the idea is a single-enclosure pedal with the Hotcake circuit running into a Vox-style circuit.

There are a few Hot Cake boards out there (Aion, madbean, pedalpcb). I was thinking of pairing one of those with something like this Catalinbread Galileo board:

A few considerations I have in mind...the Vox side is not there for endless tweakability but to optimize the tone and texture of the Hot Cake, and I'm thinking of this as an easy to use pedal. Therefore I'm considering finding an optimal setting for gain and maybe even tone and fixing that in place somehow on the Vox side. Perhaps also not including a bypass option for the Vox side and leaving it "always on." As someone who prefers to leave my amp controls all on noon, this appeals to me, anyway, keeping the focus on the drive controls.

any thoughts on this concept?

sounds like a pedal that should be run in tho the effects return and not the front end of the amp.

but the idea is alright, fixing the controls with trimmers in stead of external pots is a nice option for set and forget types of pedals.

I created a circuit much like the OP's concept, combining the ROG Omega treble booster with a VOX AC-30 sim circuit.  The vero for my project is documented here: http://guitar-fx-layouts.42897.x6.nabble.com/Q-Drive-Treble-Boost-AC-30-Amp-Sim-td41928.html

The concept worked well (there's a demo video at the link), and would be suitable for direct recording when combined with a cab sim circuit if desired.
