[crimson_basser]

Hey yall

but im looking for suggestions on setting up my pedal board.

im not sure which order i should put all my pedals, and how to wire them for maximum performance

here is my list

Big Muff
EHX Holy Grail reverb
BOSS DD-7
Nano Clone Chorus
Nano Soul Preacher
Fender Pedal Tuner

will be added within next weeks
EHX Bass Blogger

Digitech Whammy (or similar)

so, if you will be so kind as to inform me on how to set these bad boys up, which order, if there are any specific cabling things i should do etc

My rule(s) of thumb when making up the order of the signal chain is: pitch shifters (whammy, etc.) > Wahs (filters) > OD/Fuzz > Modulation (chorus, flanger) > delay > amp.

But I've also done things other ways as well, try it a bunch of different ways and let your ears be the judge. Then, once your happy with the results, you can velcro and hook everything up on a more permanent situation.

its weird, some people tell me to put ods/distortions/fuzz last
for reasons that make sense to me
and other ppl have said to put them first
for other reasons that do make sense...

but i get confused because some of my pedals arent "true bypass" which makes a difference in signal

but none of that really means that much to me, im quite new to this
i think i understand the gist of it, but anyone with knowledge in this area, your help is appreciated!

You're definitely going to have to play around w/ what goes where.

Some people put delays before od/fuzz/distortion, others after...Some put pitch shifting before everything, some put it after...It's all about what you wanna do w/ the effects, how they react to one another, how it sounds to you.

If I was setting up your board: Whammy - reverb - chorus - soul - blogger - big muff - sans - dd7 - tuner...but then I'd try it w/ reverb and chrous after the sansamp and see how the od/fuzz was changed. Good luck!
