left to right:

loop station 1 - loop station 2 - tuner - delay - distortion - amp footswitch

once i was pissed and put the distortion on far left. halfway through song, hit distortion, the loop (that was supposed to stay clean) goes distorted. it sounded.. horrendous.

- guitar>compressor>compressor>eq>overdrive>delay>tremolo>chorus>amp,
Why two compressors? - because i like them

Oh yeah! But I find that me guitar gives an awful buzz off it with too much.

I generally go with...

guitar-> tuner > compression > phase shifter > micro pog (octave) > big muff > reverse delay > delay

As for the effects loop, like the guy on the that link posted:

"I totally forgot about the effects loop. I've been just going in through the front the whole time."

Could that be a contender for the Profanisaurus or what!?!?!?

I recently got a 12 string Danelectro Hodad, and I've got it into my mind now that i need a compressor to make it sound even better. But i've no idea what a compressor will do, will it make the guitar sound bright and jangly or summat?
So i looked up compressor pedals and came to the conclusion that i want either an MXR or a Guyatone
I've heard that Boss ones are very hissy, so they're a no no
Any ideas?

I'd go for the MXR.
Better build quality.
I have a Guyatone EQ, although it sounds great, its a bit flimsy and the switch is a bit dodgy.
I also hear that the MXR is more transparent.

derek crumb swears by this compressor called the jangle box. i recently got a EH black finger valve compressor. its very nice, and very transparent.

 

[snakybus]

I've been trying to find one of those jangleboxes, any idea where?

 

[RED(tape)MENACE]

Compressor on bass, yeah.
I'm with you on that.

Just wondering what folks are looking for / getting from compressing their guitar signal? Curious, like.

sustaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain

i think you have to order from the site.

Compressor on bass, yeah.

using the black finger for bass. inspired by enda spook. its bleedin class.

Well, by compressing the signal, you are going to get more hiss,(it reduces the dynamic range, then boosts the signal), but i guess you can either live with it or not.... the Jangle Box is good, but the Aphex optical compressor is really good too, - i got mine from Pure pedals - it some guy here - 99euro !, (i got a look at Bob Mould's pedalboard, and he uses one !), the Jangle box worked out way more expensive - (but i got it as a present )- i'm not sure how well compression works with distortion tho - i think it depends where you put the compressor in the chain - (compress before or after eq,distortion?-?) but compressing clean guitar makes picking really come alive, and lets chords ring out.

Nice One!
Cheers for that."compressing clean guitar makes picking really come alive, and lets chords ring out" is exactly what i'm looking for. Heading to the US next month, so i might hang on til then to make the investment.
