friendly pedal order advice?

sillyfabe · #1 09-09-2010, 08:42 PM

hello all! I have my pedals in this order and was wondering if anyone would recc. another way to arrange them all or if it seems like I have my head on straight. The only must is the OC-2 and SYB-O5 have to be first or the tracking goes haywire. With them at the beginning and a proper technique I actually truly enjoy them! ANY ADVICE?

eric you are a great foreseer! yes my pedals have been in this order for a lil while and was just wondering if anyone had any other fancy ideas. I have a few in my head but well just overall wondering...

Which mode do you use on the LS-2, A/B/0?

swift: yeah i usually go a/b/bypass. i usually keep my fuzz on a, my modulation on b, mix both with fuzz first or that way i dont use any modulation so i can blend some of my bass back if needed but all my fuzzes are great on bass w/o a blend esp the swollen pickle.

Sorry, I only have advice for a disgruntled pedal order...

I would put all your pedals in a box, close the box and shake. Then without looking, pull the pedals out one at a time and hook them up in that order.

matt you might have a good idea on that one...no seriously do i have it good or should i re-arrange anything? just wondering...

Pedalboard Boggle!

Honestly I like your order as is. I can't think of anything, except maybe a fuzz pedal at the beginning (I like feeding fuzz into octaves, really thickens the fuzz). But I've been known to like odd combinations.

i figured that my order is pretty decent considering what i've learned from this website in 2 years (was a guest for a lil while). thanks!

I think with that many pedals, you're bound to have some problems.

sorry, I have no useful info, just "clever" oneliners.

OOO...actually, I just read an article in the new bass player magazine about pedal placement ...and why.

I cant remember what it said, but you could get that issue..I just got it friday, so its still out.

yesss....advice given

I'd probably put the phaser after the delays actually.

never tried the phase after a delay...hmmm might see what the flanger does as well
