Members Saturn Posted September 20, 2008 Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 I would go Tuner-Heavey Metal-Wah-Chorus-Delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 's mel gibson Posted September 20, 2008 Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 Get a sheet of velcro to cover the entire board and use the little velcro strips with adhesive backing to attach your pedals to the board. And,...what NOS68 said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Burningleaves Posted September 20, 2008 Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 Either of the suggested way so far would be good to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members chrisebrooks06 Posted September 20, 2008 Author Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 thanks again, do you reckon a good sustainer might be a good investment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TN.Frank Posted September 20, 2008 Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 I'd put the HM at the end of the loop so you'd have a clean signal going thru the other effects. JMHO, YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Burningleaves Posted September 20, 2008 Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 thanks again, do you reckon a good sustainer might be a good investment? Maybe. All depends on if you need more sustain or not and want to get it from a sustain pedal if you do. Does your rig lack sustain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chrisebrooks06 Posted September 20, 2008 Author Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 yeah i would like a serious boost, i also like ebows etc and that kind of effect, what you reckon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sleepeatplay Posted September 20, 2008 Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 thanks again, do you reckon a good sustainer might be a good investment? Hell, why not. If it's in your budget, go for it. I need to sit down and play with the compressor pedal I scored. I had to squeeze it on my board, so I'll probably sit down with it later and give it a whirl. You are gonna love having it all on one board, gives that tidy feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members HeimBrent Posted September 20, 2008 Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 Tune - Wah - Dist - Chorus - Delay. If you're using the amps dist as well as the pedal, put the delay in the effectsloop. The biggest arguing on this one will however be about the wah/dist. It depends on how much wah you want. That's the one thing you gotta try out yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An EQ might be something to consider. It can be used as a boost as well as an overall tone shaper. Volume pedals can be fun as well. You can get all kinds of crazy sounds with them. Of course using your volume knob for swells works to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members shred4life Posted September 20, 2008 Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 question........I've heard that the more pedals you use the signal gets stomped and you lose sustain.True?.....and if so is that why most of the pros use rack mount processors or floor processors?

I run it all out front. I've never tried the effects loop. Old man mentality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They go for like $100 new though so I have never taken the plunge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BAXANDALL Posted September 20, 2008 Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 Go over to my secret project http://www.myspace.com/2lbspread and listen to the first 30 seconds or so of "Nightstanding" for an example of some ebow playing. The guitar is actually forward while I reversed the drums. Fun fun fun. I love the ebow. You just need to get comfortable with linear scale patterns and realize that different pickups react differently to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
