Each pedal eqs differently stacked and independently. |

|  | Just when I though I was done... | | Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: New York NY | | | I like to go by intensity of dirt, so my light overdrive goes first, into the Source Audio MWBDP (which is set for more synth than grit) , through the fuzzes and finally into the WMD, which is capable of insane amounts of dirt. |

I keep the light stuff first to boost any dirt that comes after it (if needed). Depending on the pedal, this can either be really nice or downright WRONG! |

I use 6 dirt pedals and run them in order of mild through to heavy intensity. Main reason I do it is I often use the milder ones in blend with the heavier so it works to run them first. |

I think going from mild to wild makes sense, however I can't think of an instance where I would blend a lesser into a greater

Makes it sound more "organic" to my ears.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2001 Location: Spain | | | +1 to what Unrepresented said. I use the Xotic Bass BB preamp setted with very low gain (gain at 8 o'clock, lows at 3 o'clock, and highs at 1 o'clock) and volume at unity with the effect off. This pedal is located after a Mxr Classic 108 fuzz, a vintage '87 Rat and a VT Bass. Same reasons as Unrepresented said. |
