Members Telecruiser Posted July 2, 2015 Members Share Posted July 2, 2015 I haven't been by this forum in a long time but I need to get some help in a good starting hookup sequence for my boxes. I have been collecting, trading music stuff for the last 3-4 years to get a collection of various stompboxes. I built a pedal board about 3 years ago in the hopes I'd get what I want to build it. That day has come and I'm ready to go. What I don't know is a good starting sequence to hook them up. I know there are some basic rules about this but I don't know them so I'm looking to you good people to help me get started. Your help will be much appreciated. Here is a list of what I want to use.

Members t_e_l_e Posted July 2, 2015 Members Share Posted July 2, 2015 one basic rule istuner,wah,tremolo, compressor firstthen comes the dirt sectionnext are phasers, chorus and flangersthen the delay(s)at the end reverband if there, the looper the volume pedal depends for what and how you want to use it. could be and of the chain, or in the front or just before the dirt. i don't own one myself so i have no experience with it with the pitch fork and the B9 you have 2 special pedals, which normally should go before the dirt section, but depending on how or what you use it for, there could be also great sounds after it. if the compressor should be the very first pedal or after the wah or tremolo you need to try out.the tremolo could also be after the dirt section, that's just personal taste anything listed above after the dirt section put before it, most likely will just create a muddy sound. start with something similar like above and if you are not happy make some small changes. change only one pedal at the time, it makes it easier to judge if you like it better or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members goodhonk Posted July 2, 2015 Members Share Posted July 2, 2015 Yes if youre running your amp hot you might consider putting the delays, modulation and jamman in the fx loop. more cables, but a more pleasant sound, ime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
