I run it as my last dirt pedal just before my modulation and delays. it is good to be able to stack lower gain pedals with it.
I’m curious what do you stack in front of it?
I have a Boss OD200 after this one but maybe I should flip them.
i have a wampler tumnus and a protein going in front of it. i have the tumnus, a klon circuit, set on lower gain, going into the protein, which is a bluesbreaker circuit on one side and a nobels odr 1 on the other side, for medium gain, going into the 1991. i never have all 3 on because it can get out of hand, but i will usually have the tumnus on full time with single coils and goose the 1991 with it, or with humbuckers i will have the bluesbreaker side of the protein on full time going into the 1991. to me it is more dynamic, and to clean it up i just rock guitar volume back a bit. works well for me on a fender princeton. my main amps are vintage marshalls and i uses completely different pedals for those amps.

i forgot to say try swapping the order on your pedals and see how it sounds.
since that 1991 pedal is basically a replica of an overdriven jcm 800, i would set that pedal as your heaviest drive setting and accent it with an overdrive or two in front of it. I do not think the 1991 pedal would work as well with a fuzz or a heavy distortion in front of it because you would basically be slamming a distorted tone with more distortion and that usually equals mud.
that is just my opinion based on experimenting with many different drive circuits going in to many different types of amps. may be different for your setup.

Thanks for your advice! I have mixed and matched my pedals a lot in the past but for some reason I never thought to put the 1991 behind the OD200 (which can run two drives at once, including OD, bluesbreaker, klon and several others).

i always experiment. i will get a new pedal and i will play around with pedal order. it's a pain if everything is velcroed down, but one pedal can change the whole sound of your rig depending on where you put it in the chain. i know that that 1991 has a lot of gain on tap so in my setup it is best to leave that one at the end of the drives so i could either keep it set at a higher gain and use it by itself, or i can turn the gain down a bit and hit it with a less driven od pedal. if i am going to stack those pedals i would probably have my amp set a little cleaner, like on the edge of breakup, so that it doesn't get too muddy.
let us know what you think after you play around with it.

klon overdrive pedals....worth it? There's a lot of hype around them. just ordered a mxr analog delay pedal.
i love that circuit. it is an overdrive pedal that can also be used as a boost. it is it's own kind of overdrive. there are a ton of clones on the market. nobody can afford what the real klon centaurs are going for, last i checked about $8000. there are so many more affordable options out there. the j rockett archer series, the wampler tumnus, the electroharmonix soul food, all of them sound great.
i have played 2 real klons in my life, as well as a klon ktr. sure they sound great, but not for what they sell for.
my other guitar player and i did the pepsi challenge with a gold klon and a silver klon a few years ago. this guy at a local music shop had both of them. we were blindfolded and would A/B between them and we both agreed that the silver klon sounded better than the gold one. take that for what it is worth.
i do believe everyone needs a klon circuit though. i have a tumnus on my princeton board and on my gig board for my marshalls.

JHS Notaklon is pretty cool. You get to put it together yourself, which is easy but an interesting novelty. My daughter colored it as well lol.
yes this one is great. it has the shamrock mod so you can play it like a stock klon or engage the mod to give it a little more oomph like the jhs version. good stuff.

Based on the posts above, I'm thinking maybe I should move the 1991 to right before the SansAmp. What do you guys think?
depends on how you want to run the 1991. if you want it to be heavier drive put it last in your chain of drives. you do have a turbo distortion though. my experience would tell me to put that last in the chain of drives since it is a distortion pedal. your other two drives are overdrive pedals. i typically would not want to run a distortion circuit into one or two overdrives, but that is just my opinion based on my setup.
i would tinker around with the order of your drives and see what you like. if you stack them they will all sound different depending on what is running into what.
