Members b_nehpets Posted August 31, 2008 Members Share Posted August 31, 2008 i dont want to ask where the proper place is for it, i just want to know where in your chain you put it and why. i've had it at the end for a couple months so i can boost my modulation and delay effects. i had it at the front and right after the dirt but it drowned out delay trails and loops. where's yours? why?

Members Belt Posted August 31, 2008 Members Share Posted August 31, 2008 I use an EQ after my dirt pedals for a clean boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Strat87 Posted August 31, 2008 Members Share Posted August 31, 2008 I go guitar -> wah -> overdrive -> boost -> modulation -> reverb -> tuner -> amp Why? It's where it sounds best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rockapede Posted August 31, 2008 Members Share Posted August 31, 2008 Would be last....except I need stereo outs. Therefore, it is second to last, right before my Echo Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members makingbeds Posted August 31, 2008 Members Share Posted August 31, 2008 i have mine after one dirt pedal and before my other 3 or 4. this way i can boost an overdriven signal if i want to, or overdrive into another dirt if i want to.

Members WWW Posted August 31, 2008 Members Share Posted August 31, 2008 i have mine after one dirt pedal and before my other 3 or 4. this way i can boost an overdriven signal if i want to, or overdrive into another dirt if i want to.Good setup.I tried to eliminate "chain" issues by using the following:Wah > Comp (or boost) > dirt (or boost) > boost (or dirt) > fuzz > vibe > dirt (or boost) >EQ (or boost) > fuzz > delay > amps (or dirt) with optional boostBy adjusting controls I can use many effects as clean boosts before and/or after my dirt/fuzz/vibe/delay. It's a really versatile setup that takes a lot of the "where does this effect go" out of the equation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JETKING Posted August 31, 2008 Members Share Posted August 31, 2008 mine is MIA TZ>E13 VFM>Small Clone>Pulsar>Analog Delay>DD20>Micro amp. when everything starts getting lost in the mix i kick on the Micro Amp and BOOM! it's just right.

Members greenweenie Posted August 31, 2008 Members Share Posted August 31, 2008 I have it before my lone dirt pedal. I like how it increases gain but not volume. I'm the lone guitarist in my band, there's no need to get above another guitarist so a boost pedal that increases volume will drown out the rest of my bandmates.

Members TechnicolorSkyline Posted August 31, 2008 Members Share Posted August 31, 2008 I run two like this: amp > boost > delay > modulation > dirt > boost > wah > fuzz > guitar First after amp is for a nice clean boost, other is for pushing the gain with the dirt.

Members wurstburst Posted August 31, 2008 Members Share Posted August 31, 2008 I use an EQ in my effects loop as a clean boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Noise... Posted August 31, 2008 Members Share Posted August 31, 2008 If I'm using a big board (which I rarely, if ever do anymore), I'll have one first in the chain and one last. First for gain boost, last for volume boost. Both for cascaded grit. If on a small board, I'll stick it on last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members anglerfish Posted August 31, 2008 Members Share Posted August 31, 2008 Guitar > muff > trem > fuzz > fuzz > fuzz > phaser > boost > amp Boost after fuzz just sounds better to me, although I haven't tried a treble boost in front of fuzz yet...

Members Fenderman1991 Posted August 31, 2008 Members Share Posted August 31, 2008 3rd in my chain...guitar>tuner>comp>boost I put it in front of dirt for more versatality of my dirt section. My BD-2 covers low-medium gain overdrive, with a gain boost it does heavy of too. It also gives a pleasurable gain boost to the Muff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members b_nehpets Posted August 31, 2008 Author Members Share Posted August 31, 2008 thanks a lot... you guys are crazy, though. anglerfish: 4 fuzzes? dear god... i dont use fuzz, yet. but i'll keep that in mind.leer43: i like your band.... i saw you played a few dates with 5 times august, i played with brad back in dallas a few times. Aaron: you just like to throw pedals down and use them where they stick... dontcha? that board just keeps getting bigger!WWW: i dont have enough boost pedals to do that, but i have my modulation effects going in to one loop and my delay thru another... if i keep the boost at the end, i can kinda achieve what you'd got there. thanks. keep talking about it if you like. i'm into reading this {censored}!

Members DanJep Posted August 31, 2008 Members Share Posted August 31, 2008 My boost is currently sitting on my piano. When it's on my pedalboard I have it right after my dirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even have one dedicated boost. That's the beautiful part of selecting effects. I chose many of mine because they double as boosts when you set them accordingly. You can use your crunchbox as a boost, so you have the option of two boosts if you have a piece that doesn't use OD. See where I'm going with this?

Members comfortablynumb Posted August 31, 2008 Members Share Posted August 31, 2008 Right after the dirt pedals. No real reason other than it just makes sense there. Also it keeps it on my front row so I can get to it easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members makingbeds Posted August 31, 2008 Members Share Posted August 31, 2008 Aaron: you just like to throw pedals down and use them where they stick... dontcha? that board just keeps getting bigger! haha yeah thats fairly true. i do like boosting distortions/fuzzes with boosts though. i don't need to be louder, just fuzzier.
