It'll take pedals (like for example a Tube Screamer or a Treble Booster) extremely well but honestly the superb tone that comes from hitting this amp on full gain with a set of humbuckers will be enough to please even the most uptight tone junkies.
The tremolo sounds wonderful. It's warm, lush and dynamic without stepping out in front too much.
