Alright well, here it goes . I just bought some new pedals to add to my board. I failed to get all of them to work at once.

Here's my pedal set up
From start to end :

Boss Tuner TU-2 , Boss Loop Station RC-2 , Digitech Whammy , Stereo Memory Man , Bass Overdrive , Phase Shifter PH-3 , Tremolo TR-2 , Digitech Digital Delay , Bass Synth SYB-5 , Holy Grail Reverb.



What I am pretty much asking is what would you recommend for me to set it up start to finish?

I thought experimenting with different arrangements was the fun part!

Agreed...find what you think sounds good....but "IF" you do a search you'll find lots of info on what people think the proper set up is.

Wait, are you looking for a setup that will work while every effect is turned on? That's just not gonna happen in the context of most bands.

The generic choice is tuner -> octave/synth/envelope (you decide the order) -> dirt -> modulation -> time based effects.
But I'm pretty sure you aren't looking for the generic setup, otherwise you wouldn't be posting this. The best advice is to sit down with your pedals and try them in combinations of two's and three's until you find what you like, write down the order, and set them up on your pedalboard or what have you.

I'd order them:

Tuner > Bass Synth > [rest of pedals] > Loop Station

Maybe he means he doesn't know how to get them all working in the sense of powering them all? Which means he should get himself a onespot or some other pedal power solution.

They didn't all work at the same time? LOL tell me you didn't try keeping your TU-2 on the whole time

Now I get it

To the OP: The tuner mutes your signal when it is on so you can tune in silence.

If that is not the problem than please explain what you mean by not working.
