TommyK Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) I've just blown all me christmas money on a new pedal so thought it was time to think about a pedal-board re-shuffle... The pedals i need on the board are: Boss TU3 MXR octaver ibanez Chorus Proton (filter) Darkglass B3k (Yay! the new one!!) I have always had octavers first, then tuner, filter, od, and finally chorus.... what are your prefferences on this..... and why? Cheers in advance.

sixdegrees Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I just stick to a simple rule of having tone pedals (octave, overdrive, fuzz, wah, etc) first, then time-based pedals (chorus, delay, etc) at the end of the chain. Although some people find good results by putting tone pedals in front of the pre-amp, and having the time-based pedals in the FX loop.

simwells Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Personally with those I'd go Tuner > Octaver > B3k > Envelope > Chorus Tuner always first to give it the best signal to work from then octaver for same reasons plus I don't like putting an effected signal into one. Then fuzz/distortion as again earlier always sounds better though obviously it's getting a bit of a struggle now, plus I like distortion into filters rather than the reverse. I would play around with what you like the sound of though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 deffinitely try the filter both sides of your dirt, it's very subjective. I have a choice of fuzz after filter or OD before or after it on my board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Heeley Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Simwells +1 ^ My personal prefs. Some prefer dirt before chorus, some after. See which works for you. Deffo tuner first though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
