Im running a few effects that aren't necessarily standard, IMO, and was wondering where an MXR envelope pedal would fit in the best. I am currently going tuner> multicomp>boss chorus > micro pog> Aguilar tone hammer pedal. The multi comp is always on, as is the tone hammer. I dont use distortion, but just a little gain to warm up the tone. It's still a pretty clean signal. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
An envelope pedal after a compressor(or limiter, for that matter)is counter-productive. Either levels out the dynamic range of your instrument, and that variance of quiet to loud is what makes an envelope work.
I was just referring to the fact that its not a couple distortion boxes and such. I realize its not exotic . The pog kinda throws me off on how to chain stuff.
Are you using the Tone Hammer as a DI? I'd have the POG towards the front, either in front of or right behind the compressor. That way it gets a nice strong signal. I'd have the chorus last. Behind the Tone Hammer unless you're using the TH as a DI...
Tuner > POG > Filter > TH > Chorus I would take the comp out, or run it before the filter. Before the filter gives you some options with the filter that everyone says are counter intuitive, which I disagree with. When you use a comp to limit your volume range, you effectively do the same for your filter response, meaning you can get some very predictable and repeatable sounds, especially when you are using the filter to highlight certain frequencies only. When you use the filter, you can always bypass the comp as well .
