how to order these pedals?

[Cz93]

hello i need some advice on which order to put these pedals in ok i have :

my amp into the boss tu-2 tuner, boss digital delay, boss bass chorus, boss bf-3 flanger, bass big muff, and an ibanez weeping demon wah, into bass

i was thinking about something like that, but im not exactly sure if that is right lol any advice is greatly apreciated

[René_Julien]

tuner > bass big muff > wah > flanger > chorus > delay
(how I would try it first)



it's not set in stone,

generally what works best is:


drive pedals (overdrive, distortion fuzz) > modulation pedals (flanger, chorus,...) > reverb > delay


wah before or after drive pedals... to preferation

You're free to experiment on your own what sounds best.

René_Julien has it right, except that I would modify it to put the fuzz before the tuner. Fuzzes don't generally like buffers before them, and the tu-2 has a buffer.

true...


I assume that you would use it in bypass mode.
Tracking pedals usually like to be first in line.
I think....


which is a stupid thing to say of me since I use a rack tuner.
I'm a snob.

(Well, rack tuner has to go cause I'm going to downsize my rig.)

Personally I try to put the bass first and amp last, but your way sounds interesting...

one thing that's fun to switch around is delay placement. Otherwise this

bass big muff> boss tu-2 > wah > flanger > chorus > delay

I like to put my analog delay pedals before my digital delay pedals.


Yup, you read that correct, multiple twice.

Got to bring it back to one probably.

id typically go wah before drive, but ive seen it both ways.

although ive never seen one in the loop of a distorted amp.. so im thinking before drive

[jmattbassplaya]

I`d put the wah before the muff.

You also might want to try the delay before the flanger and chorus; I always prefer my delays before modulation, because I like to hear the mod sweep go over the delays. But I readily admit I'm in the minority there. And the order of the wah and fuzz has fans on both sides of the argument. It really depends on whether you want the wah or the fuzz to dominate the tone.

wait why does the tuner affect the fuzz?

Some Fuzzes (e.g. Fuzz Face) don't like buffered Pedals (Tuners, Wahs, ...) in front of them. If you put one in front of them they just make some weird fuzzy noises and you can't control anything they do anymore.

Ha! From the title of this thread, I thought you wanted pedal manufacturers' addresses.
