Post Your Pedalboard - Part I

[bassicinstinct]

Whammy-->105Q-->Punch Factory-->Guv'nor-->Phaser-->Echo Park? What's so unorthodox about that? It's just the opposite of the picture because all my outputs are on the left side and all my inputs are on the right side...

In what way is it "the opposite of the picture"??

If you read the picture left to right, it's the opposite order of chain.

 

[Toasted]

The picture is confusing, it looks like it's the other way around.

I just wondered why you have the whammy at the start of the chain. It makes sense to me to have it after the distortion etc.

I also dont really see the point in having the compressor in the middle of your chain, can you explain to me why you think it sounds best there?

 

[Adam Barkley]

Well, most put modulation effects after gain effects, but go with what sounds best to you.

If I owned your setup I would have setup like this. I'd add a loooper though.

Amplifier <- Loooper (Whammy, Phaser, Echo) <- Wah <- Guvnor <-Bass

I've never used compression so I'm not sure where I would put that.

 

[Petary791]

I put the Whammy first because it tracks the best with clean tones. Think about it, would you rather have a distorted Whammy (like now) or a Whammy'd distortion? It wouldn't track very well with distortion before it.

I put the compressor in the middle because I like my compressor after the wah. I was using this pic as a reference.

The reason why I don't have a loooper is because I haven't noticed any tone loss other than with the Whammy. I'm gonna get a mini for my Whammy, and I can't notice any tone being sucked by my phaser nor wah.

EDIT: And I like my wah before distortion. If I get a RAT, i'm gonna put the Guv'nor before the distortion and the RAT after so I can have both sounds.

IS THE GRILLING OVER?!

 

[Toasted]

I put the whammy after my Prunes and Custard and it tracked just fine. So if it tracks fine after a random harmonic generator, I think it will track fine after a simple diode clipping distortion circuit.

Whammy'd distortion is too awesome to have it the other way around, IMO.

Secondly, why do you need to compress the wah, and doesnt it seem a little convoluted to compress a signal and then distort it?

I would use a Loooper is because I like turning on multiple effects at once. Feel free to decide for yourself.

I guess it's not.

Quick question... if I like it, is there a problem? The ordering is fine.

Of course there is no problem, you can burn all your gear for all i care.

Since this is a place where we share information, i was trying to understand your board and the thought processes behind it, and see if i could apply any of your principles to my board.

You obviously think im criticising you and you couldn't be further from the truth. I am trying to help you and myself. Maybe you should chill out a little and be less aggressive? Stress is a killer, you know.

 

[Petary791]

I'm not trying to be aggressive. I'm just going by what the picture said for the most part.

 

[lowmid]

why do people use whammy's whith bass??? it is like one of my existential questions!!!

ps: petary you should mod your gu'vnor, they're not true bypass

ps2: i've found my dream OD tonebone Classic!!! killer overdrive, better than my original guv'nor, wayyyy beter and still timmy C like

 

[screamingdaisy]

If it helps any I run my Whammy first too.

I found it tracked fine post distortion, but I prefered the sound it made when used pre distortion.

because some of us have guitarist fantasies

 

[lowmid]

Yeah like me with my guitar OD pedal!!! every one should try this one out it roccckkksss ass

Hey guys, especially Toasted, sorry for spazzing earlier.

Hey guys, especially Toasted, sorry for spazzing earlier.

I think that the lack of delivery or tone through the internet medium leads to the majority of arguments that happen there. One could read an enquisitive post as an accusatory post fairly easily.

In short, "We be cool, dog."

How do you folks stomp on those boxes that are very close together?

Do you pull the pedals out of the case or do you have small feet?

Dainty little feet doing dainty little steps?

You have to get shoes with little extender pads on the bottom.
