Members theDogger Posted June 5, 2017 Members Share Posted June 5, 2017 Ok so I am building up my rack system and have a few questions about signal path and where to put things. So far I just have the following Amp:+++++++Egnator Vengeance Pedal Board:+++++++Boss NS-2Ibanez Tube ScreamerMXR 10-Band EQ Rack: +++++++Furman PWR ConditionerKorg TunerTC Major G-Major My current Signal Chain (PRE) Guitar--->Tuner---->Tube Screamer---->Boss NS-2----->Amp In (POST) G-Major--->MXR 10 Band Eq I bought a BBE 382i where it insert into the signal chain? I know if should be in the POST but before or after the TC G-Major? Any help is appreciated Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members whodatboi Posted November 13, 2017 Members Share Posted November 13, 2017 Harmonic Maximizers are basically saturation units that increase the amount and volume of higher-order harmonics in your signal. So the question becomes, one of trying to pop those out AFTER you've gone through the G-Major effects processor, or before and let the effects processor work on those harmonics too. Personally, I view the 382i and others like it as "last in the chain" devices. Some people push their entire song mixes through it, while others will also push the drums stem through, then the vocals stem through, and then recombine them all. I know you're not talking about mixing, but I say it to illustrate the point... It's a matter of preference. In the end, with a single-source signal chain like you're talking, it won't matter that much. You could go before or after the effects processor. I'd go after. You can test both and see if there's even an audible difference for you. This late in the path I don't think will matter. Now if you were talking about before or after a compressor we'd have a different story on our hands. I think you'll be fine either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
