Help with pedal chain

Precision345 · #1 02-19-2013, 01:23 PM

Hi,
I'm new to using pedals in a chain and would like to ask for some help in arranging them. I normally only use one or two pedals at a time so using a chain is alien to me.
I currently will be using a ehx big muff bass, a tc electronic ploy tune, an ibanez tube screamer, an ehx the mole bass booster and I maybe one more fuzz pedal if I can find it.
I was thinking of arranging them like this
Poly tune - big muff - tube screamer - fuzz pedal - bass booster
Any thoughts on this? nyone who could help would be much appreciated!

Put the tuner first, it will work better if/when you have an effect on.

Put the booster LAST, because the Muff, fuzz and screamer are input sensitive effects. This means that as the input gain changes the amount drive changes. If you boost first you'll change the sound of these when you turn it on. Put the boost after and you'll make the tone you set on them louder without changing it.

Another thing. There are no "rules" for pedal placement. There are things most people do and there are reason, BUT that doesn't mean you HAVE to do it that.

Thanks for your help dude. So I want to go...
Tuner fuzz big muff screamer booster or something like that as long as the booster is on the end and the tuner is a the start. The rest is desired preference I imagine
