pazmo82 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I have just replaced my Boss GT6B for a bunch of separate pedals (am selling it BTW, £225 fully boxed, pretty much as new, collection from Reading) Could anyone tell me what order I should have them linked up in? Boss Tuner Boss Chorus Boss Synth Little Big Muff - fuzz Bassballs - twin filter Holy Grail - reverb Soul Preacher - compression I also have a loveton Meatball and a Boss Octive pedal i'm thinking about inviting to the party, cant seem to get a good live sound out of them though.

umph Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 distortion - modulation - delay - eq - compression although you can mix the eq or compression to else where if you only want it to affect certian effects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Lots of possibilities there.

Aussiephoenix Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I'd actually put compression first so that all pedals get a nice clean level signal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compression after effects for taming peaks, and not killing dynamics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiephoenix Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 doesnt make much of a diff in my case as I always use compression by itself (WHEN I use it.), but if I wanted to level out the spikes on the other pedals... hmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 You should use a limiter to even out spikey pedals IMO. I put compression near the start, sometimes after EQ, and limiting at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compression after effects for taming peaks, and not killing dynamics [/quote] You forgot to say - only in your opinion. For example, I have tried my compressor in many different positions in my signal path and for my combination of pedals, first position gives the cleanest sound for me and also allows more of the character of my pedals to come though. There is no one single optimum place for a compressor, as with everything, it all depends an what sound you want to achieve and what pedals you have. Try the compressor first and last and see what happens. Another common place is directly after distortion but before any modulation. Trust your ears not your eyes.
