Evening guys,
I have been using a pedal board for a few months after many years of evil multi effects units. I currently run wah first, then comp, envelope filter, blackstar HT dual then delay all into the clean channel on my Boogie.
What I am finding is if I run the compressor first, when I switch in the wah there is a drop in volume (its a variable Q wah with boost) even with the boost all the way up. I guess this is because the input signal is being evened out by the comp. However, if I run the comp first, there is a big volume hike when I switch the wah in! I can adjust the volume hike by turning the boost off, but the overall wah 'effect' is better (smoother) pre comp.
Just wondered how you guys did it? I play mainly clean and constantly switch in and out with the wah (a curse of the funk!) and I am finding the volume drop a pain.
Any opinions appreciated.
