Im a complete beginner to pedal stuff, i dont have any pedals yet, but im planning to buy some soon, one of which being an op-amp big muff. Recently i saw a video showcasing a fuzz pedal, that sounded basically like a bunch farts, because of being plugged into a clean amp, but the guy in the vid added a ts9 into the chain and that fixed it, saying that a tubescreamer can help emulate a dirty amp. The comments on the vid said that this happens with basically every fuzz pedal. I also have overdrive built into my amp, but i dont know if it would work the same way as a tubescreamer in the pedal chain. Would it be wise to buy a tubescreamer or just a waste?
