Help! Pedal Order

[Brentt68]

So I need help with my pedal board!
It goes:

Amp
MXR Bass DI
TC Nova Repeater
Boss Bass Chorus
TC Spectracomp
Boss Tuner
Line 6 wireless
Bass Guitar

Am I way off or out of order?
Thanks in advance!

You're looking pretty good there, as far as conventional wisdom goes.

It's always worth trying out different configurations, if only to learn.

I'd run it completely opposite...

Bass Guitar
Line 6 wireless
Boss Tuner
TC Spectracomp
Boss Bass Chorus
TC Nova Repeater
MXR Bass DI
Amp.

Chuck some dirt in there, grime it up a little...

Chuck some dirt in there, grime it up a little...

...it's not everybody's brand of dirt, but the M80 can add a little grime in it's own "Rat-like" way.

 

[Feral Feline]

@Al Kraft Yeah, I know the M80 has some grit, but what if you want it pre-chorus and still need the DI at the end of the chain?


So @Brentt68 , what (if any) changes have you made to your pedal chain?

 

[Al Kraft]

@Al Kraft Yeah, I know the M80 has some grit, but what if you want it pre-chorus and still need the DI at the end of the chain?

...in that particular case, it's not really quite that helpful...

Experiment have fun with .... Start with what pedals do you use in combinations. where the tuner is really won't make a difference. Some people like them up front some like them at the end. If you using the mxr for dirt id try the delay before and after it and see what you prefer. With your specific pedals I don't think there's really a wrong way to do it just whatever you like best. If you had an octave I'd say have it first or second after the tuner, envelope filters act differently if they are before or after a compressor and so one

My suggestion would be:
Tuner
Compressor
Wah
Dirt
Amp

 

[StillSour]

Thank you very much. I wasnt sure if i had dirt and comp flip flopped, but it makes perfect sense why theyd go this way.

Tuner
Compressor
Wah
Dirt

(...)where the tuner is really won't make a difference. Some people like them up front some like them at the end. (...)

1. The Boss tuners have buffers and it makes sense to use them at the start, esp. if you combine many effects.
2. If you have pitch changing effects running like a chorus I wouldn't use these before my tuner

 

[Feral Feline]

Do still try the wah after your dirt; as has already been mentioned it's fun to experiment.

Thank you very much. I wasnt sure if i had dirt and comp flip flopped, but it makes perfect sense why theyd go this way.

I always run my comp after dirt and wah, partly because my wah is average and the compressor tightens it up nicely and because the amount of drive I get varies alot depending on how hard I play and putting the compressor before looses that.

 

[StillSour]

Well, im supposed to get my B3K today and my Warden tomorrow. I have a polytune2 noir for a tuner. Still not decided on how much id use a wah. Im going to mess around with the comp and grit and see what i like best. Thanks for all the tips guys. Groovy stuff

So @Brentt68 , what (if any) changes have you made to your pedal chain?

Spresso

So I ended up going Bass into my Boss Tuner to my TC Spectracomp then TC Flasback Delay to my MXR 80 and into my Ampeg

Thanks for weighing in, I hope that your chain is working well for you.
