Pedalboard help ...

[nToHrv]

Hey guys, just looking for a bit of help with the order of my effects pedals.

 

I play a Strat through a Savage Macht 12x amplifier (no effects loop).

 

My pedal list is the following:

 

TC Hall of fame reverb

TC Flashback Delay

Timmy OD

Fulltone OCD

Digitech Harmonyman

TC Polytune

 

Just looking for your input for the order of these pedals ... (keeping in mind the Digitech HarmonyMan has distortion send and return jacks .. not sure if i should use that and why it's there ?) I do need the Harmonizer to work with both clean and dirty sound.

 

I'm also in the process of buying an expression/volume pedal and a Wah .. recommendations are much appreciated and where would you put these in the chain.

 

Appreciate your time and expertise guys!

The Harmonyman is a pitchshifter that would prefer to have your cleanest straightest signal, thats why the Distortion send and return is there. It probably does the tracking then allows the distortion instead of trying to track a distorted signal.

 

I would do

 

Polytune

Harmonyman

Timmy

OCD

Delay

Reverb

 

This is from the Manual

 

Many guitarists prefer to add distortion before adding harmony signals. To do this, connect the Dist Send jack to the input of your distortion pedal, and connect the output of the distortion back to the Dist Return. Now the musIQTM feature

Awesome, thank you Naterel. Assuming my Delay and Verb would be chained through the output on the Harmonyman correct ?

 

Any good expression/volume and wah recommendations ? and where would you chain these ?

[Naterel]

yeah, the delay and reverb come after that if you plan to use the distortion loop

 

Nope, I dont use one so I cant help much there
