Signal Chain advice

[tahbass]

Where to begin... Let's say I've been GASing real hard for a little over a year now and I've got a pedal collection that weighs in at around 40 pedals (for a super ambient project). After much deliberation and frustration, I think I've finally come to a good signal chain. Please offer your thoughts, questions, comments, etc. on how I can improve it, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any help and what not you may give me.

At that point, just plug them in however you want.

I don't understand why you have the Woolly mammoth in the NS-2 loop, that doesn't make any sense to me .

You should try the octamizer closer to the front of your signal chain, it won't track as well as it potentially can after the 20 pedals you have before it!

Also, a few questions...

Why 3 wahs, 3 flangers, 3 loopers, 5 delays, 4 reverbs? Seems excessive to me...

What's the purpose of 3 volume pedals? What do you use each of them for?

That's definitely the collection of a Justin Chancellor fanboy...

The Mammoth seems to have a slight buzz when it's engaged and I'm not playing which sounds sloppy to me right before a song starts and it's not completely silent.

Thanks, I'll put it right after the Whammy maybe...?

And that my friend is a result of me being lazy haha I've got them all at very different settings. The BF-2 is almost at a chorus, the BF-3 is a heavy flanger and the Flanger Hoax I actually use for oscillation. The 3 wah are because i liked the sound that the Morly Fuzz wah sounds and I just couldn't get it the same with a separate fuzz and wah pedal. For the delays and reverbs... same story as the flangers; All at very different settings that I use in one 20 minute instrumental piece where I don't really have the luxury of being able to drop down and change them without screwing up. 3 loopers... why not? 2 of them are back up delays and the RC-50 is the main looper.

And yes, haha you caught me. Now I'm waiting for someone to point out the obvious Isis fanboy in me as well...
