mildmanofrock Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Hi folks - as a bit of a tech numpty, is there any chance someone could recommend a good signal chain for these pedals? Much appreciated!

Alien Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I've moved this to FX because you're more likely to get a response here. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Bass Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 do you use the sansamp as a di? or a distortion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannybuoy Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Filters sound good before overdrive (Sansamp) and after heavy distortion/fuzz (Boss HM-2) I reckon. Boss Heavy Metal into Sansamp is also a nice sound, and I prefer flangers etc nearer the end. Multicomp placement is a tricky one, but since the overdrive on the Sansamp is so touch sensitive I would choose to put compression after rather than before it. If you've got the stadard Decimator I'd shove it at the end, if you got the one with the fx loop put it first and put all of the other pedals in the fx loop.

mildmanofrock Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 Folks, I'm struggling. If you can help, I'd really appreciate it. I'm replacing my Sansamp Para Driver with the Aguilar Tone Hammer. With the Sansamp, my EBS octabass tracked fine in this signal path: [b]Bass > Sansamp > EBS multidrive > EBS multicomp > EBS Octabass > EBS IQ (envelope)[/b] Now I've swapped the Sansamp with the Tone Hammer, the bloody Octabass isn't tracking properly. Is it a problem with the Tone Hammer? Or is there something fundamentally wrong with the signal path? Thanks people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Put the octave pedal at the start. IMHO pitch effects should always go first, because it's the same (almost) as playing two notes at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

originalfunkbrother Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Bass - EBS MultiComp - EBS MultiDrive - SansAmp Para Driver - EBS Octabass - EBS IQ (Envelope). I think that would work as well but EXPERIMENTATION is the key! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
