    Such great tone combinations in there. You're re right about the AG into BAT Pharaoh sounding fantastic. But my surprise favourite was the AG into Fulltone OCD. Had the weight but also the mid-range movement and upper saw effect. Spectacular sound. And, especially good as there are good cheap clones of the OCD, that I like better than it. Like the EHX Glove.

    The thing is what really want it to be able to go from extreme Doom fuzzy distortion back all the way to vintage blues and back again with ease. So what you actually need is a RAT and a bluesy overdrive stacked. Everything else is a farse even the muff isn't optional as it can't clean up.

      I don't do it regularily, that is, in a band rehearsing context, but I do have a P90 mic bari (Eastwood Sidejack DLX, fully stock) at home that I recently loaded with flatwounds and tuned into C standard. The intention wasn't playing Doom with it, but Hell, I always ens up playing Doom sooner or later with any instrument, any tuning. 😅 And yeah, it works very well, especially slow droning stuff with changes into clean or nearly clean atmospheric / ambient patterns. To My ears more warm, mellow, steady strumming, no need for a super articulated pick attack. I like the stiff and slick feel of the strings, too.
