Effects Chain order?

[J. Crawford]

Pretty soon I will have a:
Micro Qtron
Boss OC-2
Big Bass Muff
and my current, beat to hell, DOD Hard Rock Distortion FX57

What I need to know is what pedal to put into what. I have no idea. Im a total noob to effects, with these being my first effects and first board in general.

Thanks!

Good call. He might want to also experiment with dirt before the Q Tron. I like dirt pedals into my wah and auto wah (no filter for me yet ).

Im not to sure about Fuzz into filter. My Bassballs doesnt like it to well. Some light dirt sounds good through it but to much dirt aint to good.

I run my octave before the Q-Tron because I've found it tracks better that way. The Q-Tron doesn't seem to have a problem handling the Micro POG at all.

I'd also put the octaver in front of the envelope filter, not just because it tracks better, but because a synthesized sub octave into a filter is an old dead funky combination.

Thanks guys. When I am done purchasing, I will be sure to bump this thread.

These people pretty much covered it.

Although it's always good to experiment.

Okay guys, now I have in my possesion, a:
Micro Qtron
BOSS OC-2
Big Bass Muff
Dunlop 105Q
..and my old skool DOD.

Where should the Dunlop go now? It wasnt in my original post.

I like my dirt after my wah. Mark Olson put it:

"I play rock, not disco."

 

[J. Crawford]

bass> q tron > oc2 > bbm> dod>amp

So from Chunks original post, where would the Dunlop go best for funk? If playing funk makes a difference.

I don't have a wah so I can't comment on its placement but I'd say try out OC-2 > Q-Tron. I love the envelope following an octaver for funkiness

Okay. Will do. Im really needing some advice, as if I figure out the order I can complete my 3 month in the process board..

 

[seakamp]

Try out... Octave > Fuzz > (maybe distortion) > Filter > Wah

The octave > fuzz > filter is great. I don't run distortion so that's just a guess on its placement. I think the Wah having control over all of the effects would be a pretty cool idea. Wah > q-tron at the end of the chain could be pretty sweet as well if the wah more or less acts as a LPF.

 

[J. Crawford]

ATM I have it setup
OC-2 > Qtron > BBM > Wah > DOD
But that can change very easily, as I havent even put the velcro on my board quite yet.

 

[XXL]

Id try..

wah>qtron>oc2>bbm>fx57.

 

[J. Crawford]

This is why I need responses. I dont want to put the velcro down, as they are all different sizes of velcro, until I have a set way to put them down.

For the moment, at lease.
