Whammy placement

[dudi8]

Hi all!
I've just added a bass whammy to my chain, and I'm not sure where to put it..
my current chain is:
Tuner-Compressor-Delay-Reverb-Looper-Amp


Thanks!!

Right after the tuner.

before the compressor?

I put mine before my compressor. If you're creating notes way lower/higher than the notes you're playing, the volume/bass might be fairly different so the compressor evens it out a bit (at least that's my thinking).

Aside from the already great answers:

Somewhere down low, like on the floor or a pedalboard would let you use your feet to rock the treadle.

It could work on a table top, or on a stage too. Might be fun to put it out in the audience for a short while, see what happens.

You could put a big knob on the selector so you can play it with your foot.

You are welcome

I would try it both before and after to see which works better. If you have any tracking issues putting it after the comp might help.

I would, yes.

Traditional whammy sounds - put it early. For spaced out awesome - put it late.
