what's your preference?

Normally I go: guitar-tuner-eq-overdrive-delay-tremolo-amp

However, I'm finding that if I place overdrive at the end I can really crank it - but this means that the EQ pedal is now beside the idiosynchratic old Boss delay pedal and they're not happy neighbours. It's hard to describe, but it seems like the delay is fucking with the eq - like taking in some of its signal but not other parts, borrowing its hedge clippers and not returning them, etc.

Am I imagining this? Does this even matter? Maybe it just needs a battery, but the light is on full whack. It's a new EQ so I hope it's not banjaxed.

I'd probably try the EQ then overdrive as the last two in the chain.

I have my tuner at the end of the chain.
Main distortion/fuzz/overdrive first
then eq then the wobbly effects trem/delay/chorus/phazer/flanger then tuner then amp

although I do oftentimes have a second distortion after the flanger

Tuner-Tremelo-Delay-Distortion.
I need an overdrive pedal.

its also said that if you daisy chain your power, then you should power from left to right. no idea why though.

guitar>fuzz>distortion>boost>EQ>tuner>amp

that's like:

guitar>add some rock>fuck that add more rock>this isn't goddam loud enough we need MORE ROCK, I SAID MORE!>aaargh I MUST TO ROCK SOME MORE>ahem, tune up>amp

Does everyone put their effects through the effects loop or straight into the amp input?

Any "rules" for when you should/shouldn't use the effects loop?

 

[RED(tape)MENACE]

Modulation shit in the effects loop.
Distortions and compressors wouldn't work so well there.

 

[Moods For Mallards]

What's the effects loop?

The first time I used an effects loop was with a chorus pedal & I couldn't believe how much clearer it sounded.

Then I assumed that effect loops were great for everything.
Only now finding out that maybe that's not so.

I really must fuck around with my set up a bit more.

[Pantone247]

Guitar > Big muff > Wah > Overdrive > Tremelo > Flanger > Delay > Delay > Temelo > Amp


I think..., big muff into wah sounds rad, big muff after wah sounds muck... BUT over drive before wah is muck and after it is good...

*shrug*

 

[hop]

guitar -> tuner -> dano fabtone (on lend, its awesome fuzz) -> boss OD3 -> jackhammer OD -> delay dd-6

That's the main rig. somewhere in there goes a muff, an fz-2, a fender blender and a mxr phase90, sometimes.

i tried putting my line 6 delay modeller through the effects loop and dinnae like it, it was altering the basic guitar tone. reckon it must be because it's feeding the same clean signal back in that i'm already sending to the amp directly, so there's a degree of...not quite phase but something odd
