Members mike.sartori Posted March 9, 2007 Members Share Posted March 9, 2007 Does this seem odd to anyone? I always sub-consiously assume that they go left to right (like the way we read) input to output. Does it have something to do with cable polarity?

Members passing ghost Posted March 9, 2007 Members Share Posted March 9, 2007 because most people are right handed, it would suck to run the cable in front of you. the fender blender and a few EH pedals go from left to right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kittycaster Posted March 9, 2007 Members Share Posted March 9, 2007 The Fuzz Face is left to right as well. Now we know the reason why Hendrix used 'em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mike.sartori Posted March 9, 2007 Author Members Share Posted March 9, 2007 I always thought it would be cool to have the top row of my effects going right to left, and the bottom half going left to right, so I could have my ins and outs on the same side of my board.

Members Seth Carmody Posted March 9, 2007 Members Share Posted March 9, 2007 The old EBS pedals went left to right. The EHX Flanger Hoax also runs this way. Must be a Euro thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mike.sartori Posted March 9, 2007 Author Members Share Posted March 9, 2007 I was thinking about this last night when I decided I wanted to package my comp and OD together in a new enclosure. It seems that although pedals are vastly wired right to left, when you have dual pedals, like an OD and a boost, the 2 channels are left to right, even though they might not be wired that way, or the order may be switchable. I was pumped when I realized this anyway, because I can have my comp first in the chain, but look like it's the "boost" to my OD (which is often how I tend to use it.)

Members Northstar Posted March 9, 2007 Members Share Posted March 9, 2007 The ART Levelar (and I would guess ART's Tube MP as well) goes from left to right also... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roy Brooks Posted March 9, 2007 Members Share Posted March 9, 2007 I have a couple old Roland effects, a Plum Crazy Fuzzy Lady, a Colorsound Tremolo, and two or three others that go left to right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TZR Posted March 9, 2007 Members Share Posted March 9, 2007 doesn't the foxx tone factor run left to right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, it's totally because the first lead sticks out the right side of your guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lone Flanger Posted March 9, 2007 Members Share Posted March 9, 2007 I'm pretty sure a lot of Mu-trons are left input, right output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members alteredsounds Posted March 9, 2007 Members Share Posted March 9, 2007 It improves tone as the electrons flow more evenly through the cable atoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Stacco Posted March 9, 2007 Members Share Posted March 9, 2007 It's not that most people are right handed, it's that we're right FOOTED, try rocking a wah wah with the left foot. It stinks(foot-dahling) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members blackjack davey Posted March 9, 2007 Members Share Posted March 9, 2007 doesn't the foxx tone factor run left to right? Yes, it does. Seems to be something with the octave & old fuzzes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Lanefair Posted March 9, 2007 Members Share Posted March 9, 2007 My Zinky True Grit ran left to right, it really cocked things up on the board. As for the right handed comment, I'm left handed, but I tuck the cable through my strap, so the cable runs behind and around me anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
