pedal chain

So I got into the world of pedals about a year and something ago, the one thing that has always confused me is in what order should I place my pedals? Please enlighten me on this and explain the reasoning behind it. Currently I have a Strymon Night Sky, a Pearl OC-07, an MXR Bass Fuzz Deluxe, a...

Hey guys, I've accrued a few pedals over the past couple months. Here's my list of them in the order they are currently in: (Polytune 1) > Joyo American Sound > Walrus Audio Deep Six v1 comp > EHX Bass Soul Food > Boss CE-2B > Boss LMB-3 I bought an EHX Battalion on a whim and don't really know...

Hi TalkBass people, I’m finalizing a pedalboard and would really appreciate your input, especially on how to best use the Tech 21 VT Bass DI. I'd like to use the preamp as an always-on tone shaping, and want a consistent tone between FOH and stage when possible. I’m a bit of a newbie when it...

I have a multi-effcts pedal (POG GO) that I use for effects. I notice that my sound gets flabby when I increase the volume with a characteristic breakup at low notes (I play a five string - BEADG). I've begun to suspect its the gain settings in the pedal profiles, as well as, the amp (which...

Heyo! So I’m aware that normally, loopers go at the end of your chain, does this still apply when using a DI/pre/distortion? (Darkglass Alpha/Omega) From what I’ve seen/heard loopers belong at the end of you chain so they capture everything you’d want looped, but I’ve also heard DI/pre goes at...

Calling all TBers! This is my almost-but-still-waiting-to-be-assembled pedalboard and I’d love some input from those wiser than me. If you had the same setup and were doing most of your playing at home/in studio, what would your pedal order be (including any use of the FX loop in the Stomp or...

In my pedal chain, which goes Bass, Stax 5 band eq to Boss ODB-3 Over Drive to VoxstompLab IB muti-effect to Radial Big shot ABY to amps. My Vox squeals while under AC power. If I use battery power it doesn't at first thought it was daisy chain power supply. So, I bought an Isolated power...

New to Talkbass! Hope you guys can help. I've always just been a plug in and thump type player, and only recently started getting into effects. I recently acquired a Tech-21 sansamp bass driver and an Xotic Blender pedal and I'm wondering where in my effects chain they would be best served, if...

What pedals and in which order should I get for playing heavy metal? Style such as Slipknot, Mudvayne, Slayer, Static-x. I am on a budget but feel the need to add to the tone/sound. I currently have a Vox Stomplab B1 Multi-effect and a Boss OverDrive ODB-3. I've googled it and there is...

Hello, Im from Paraguay and I have a metal/progressive band my current setup is an Ibanes SR305 in my pedalboard i have in order (Darkglass Alpha Omicron-MXR 10 Band EQ-MXR Bass Compressor-Vox Stomplab 2b), To play live I use a Hartke 100 w combo amp. My concern comes from the vox stomplab...

So, I love 80s pedals, especially Japanese made ones. Been throwing some things together and this one is pretty fun. If you can get your hands on this line of KORG pedals, the DISTORTION and OCTAVE ones are awesome. Definitely more frequency geared towards guitar but with the MAXON BASS EQ the...

The pedals I have are: Acoustic Simulator, Bass Chorus, Chromatic Tuner, Harmonists, Reverb, and Tremolo. What order should I put the pedals in after my Chromatic Tuner pedal?

I’m about to start working on building a board DIY at home. I know of the general guidelines of pedal placement order often suggested (wah/filter, compression, overdrive, modulation and pitch-based effects, delay, and reverb) but wanted to listen to more experienced players or possibly learn...

Both work OK in isolation of each other but no matter how I try I cannot get them to work together. The manuals and YouTube promos do not help. Anyone got a clue what I may be doing wrong? I have checked placement, cables and connections thoroughly. Thanks.

Currently my amp is a Peavey Mini Mega, and even though I'm sure it would sound good for certain styles, I really just can't get a tone out of it's EQ that I actually like. I've gotten really frustrated with it, and really can't afford a new amp. I am also currently building a collection of...

Hello can someone help me to setup my pedalboard i dont know witch one have to be first ..... Thank you

When I would follow the "pedal order rules" everywhere I find to put a tuner before a EQ/DI box, for example a fender downtown express. And follow this with my other pedals. But if I would use the XLR output of the downtown, am I not missing the rest of the chain going to the front of house...

Hello people, Anyone have any idea if my bass pedal chain could be improved in terms of order? Please see image! Huge thank you! BB

Hi Rockers. Im kinda new into gear. And for my new band i have to get a Pedal chain. But im a noob when it comes to cables and stuff. My equipment will be: Spector Legend 4 Bass Fender Rumble 500 Combo - Polytune - Sansamp Bass Driver programmable DI - Boss Ceb 3 Chorus - Boss FB-3 Flanger...

I recently purchased new pedals & I’m reorganising my pedalboard. I’d like to have a second opinion on the right order to maintain the best signal possible. So here’s how it’ll start: Musicman Stingray 5>Dunlop Bass Wah>Polytune>... -Aguilar TLC Comp -Tech21 VT Sansamp (not the DI one) -MXR Bass...

Hey Folks. Check out these guy Pedal Pods For you folks that want to add pedals whenever you want.

Hello lowenders, I’m constantly fumbling with my pedal chain order. I’m running passive Fender jazz and precision basses. I use a small rig consisting of MarkBass CMD12 combo and a New York 12 cab or a big rig made up of an Ampeg SVT 4 Pro and SVT410HLF cab). Current pedal roster...
