leftyhook Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I've never been one for pedals. Owned one chorus and one octave pedal in 30 years. However I've come into a few recently. Nothing flash.... I would appreciate some of your expert advice on running order to be placed on a Pedaltrain jr board. Your reasoning would also be appreciated to help me understand why a particular order. Here's the run down: Boss CE-2B chorus Boss OC-3 Octave Big Muff Pi bass fuzz Behringer bass graphic Marshall Ed-1 Compressor ( is a bass compressor vital?) Oh, my main objective is to create some kind of synth sound, which I have gotten quite close to with the Big Muff, octave and graphic (middle 2 bands right down) Your help is received with much gratitude!

lettsguitars Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) Compressor, octave, fuzz, chorus, graphic. Bass compression is only vital if you think you need it. I would guess for a synth sound it would be useful. Edited February 11, 2012 by lettsguitars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lxxwj Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I recommend the Markbass Super Synth as well the the EHX Bass Micro Synth. Both are quite versatile. For more synthy/weird fuzzes I recommend the Subdecay Noisebox as well as the Copilot FX Orbit. Not sure about the differences between the OC-2 and OC-3, but apparently the OC-3 is less synth-sounding, but you'd have to compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 If you want a classic synth sound I would suggest Octave then Fuzz then an Envelope filter. Modulation and EQ applied later. If you are trying to get specific sounds though give us a link, other wise... Try everything. Take a peek at my last blog post as it basically sums this all up too: [url="http://www.sheponbass.co.uk/blog/2012/2/11/signal-chain-basics.html"]Shep on Bass - Signal chain basics[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I'd say pretty much the same as Letts did, or maybe octave, graphic, fuzz, chorus (usually OC before any other FX). But play around & find out what you like the sound of. Like Shep says, an enevelope filter is a useful thing for synth sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
