Which one should go first? I guess "Filter --> Octave" makes sense.

| | | | I own an EBS Octabass and their literature says it should run first in the chain.
I run (in to out) Octabass/chorus/wah pedal/boost. Seems to work fine that way. |

I guess the following should work the best.
Bass-->Compressor-->Octave-->[M82 via effect loop]-->modulation-->delay/reverb

BSW used only as Octaver >> M82 >> Multicomp >> VT Bass >> CEB-3

-Dash | Exactly. It generates a new tone, so it's sort of like it is its own instrument.
My chain is more or less like this this: ---> EHX MicroSynth, EHX HOG, VOX Snake Charmer Compressor, EHX Q-Balls Enigma, EHX Bass Balls, tuner (so I can turn it on and mute everything out including any noise from the effects between sets or other times) ---> |

|  | Mostly french, not really fried | | Join Date: Oct 2009 Location: Somewhere near Montreal, CA | | | I asked a similar question recently and was told that analog octaves WANT to be first in the chain 'cause they need the purest signal. The only thing that could go before would be a tuner (in my case, Boss TU-2). I don't know if the same thinking applies to digital octaves.

| | Banned | | Join Date: May 2005 Location: Inland Empire | | | I put the filter first because putting an octave signal through it makes it sound like crap and I like the sound of adding octaves to a quacky signal. IOW, that's what sounded good for me and so that's how I arranged them. |
