Title: need help with effects chain
Post by: snatchss454 on March 03, 2007, 03:45:01 AM

Im not sure which is the best way to go about chaining my effects pedals. Here is what I have:
Straight into the amp from guitar:
    Digitech Whammy
    Boss TU-2 Tuner - Bypass doesnt work in effects loop
    Dunlop Wah

Out of the effects loop send into a Boss BCB-60:
    Boss CS-3 Compr.
    Boss CE-20 Chorus Ensemble
    Boss DD-20 Giga Delay
    Boss GE-7 EQ
Into input channel A of a BBE Sonic Maximizer 362 out of the output of channel A to the effects loop return.

First of all Im not sure if thats how the BBE is supposed to be used in the loop, or if I should also use channel B so please let me know if its wrong. Second I wanted the Compressor to go between the Whammy and Wah but I want the tuner to silence the guitar while tuning and you cant do that through the effects loop, so how should I arrange the chain.

Heres a pic:

The stuff on the board goes through the loop, the first row is directly into the amp. Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Shane

I would use Comp in front as well.


I would further put the EQ before the Chorus and Delay in the loop.

Not sure if the maximizer should be after the Delay, maybe better after the Chorus?

Experiment and see what's best.

Thanks guys! I now have this config that sounds alot better:
Directly into Amp:
Guitar - Whammy - Compressor - Tuner - Dunlop Wah

Effects loop:
Send - EQ - Chorus - Delay - BBE Sonic Maximizer - Return .....sounds delicious..... cant wait for the Holy Diver/Black Dog set.

thanks again for the input
