Matt I have near enough the same set up I think it's something like: Guitar > wah . whammy > big muff > BOSS DS-1 > chrous > delay > amp I think :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodles Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Any kind of gain device like distortion should come first in line I think, then you move on to modulation, like chorus or whammy...then finally you would have any echo devices...like Delay. Also, try putting the whammy in your FX loop if you have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalton Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 no whammy comes first in line because you want the sound to come in to the whammy to be as dry as possible. and put the wah in front of your distortion/fuzz. it will sound better that way.

I know he customised it (Duh) but what is that on the body? it always looked like a bit of fretboard to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalton Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 well before he had all his mansons, he used to stuck his effects on his guitar [hence the tape]. so he could run about with his guitar. he hadn't actually custumized it, by putting stuff in his guitar, he just stuck it on the body of the guitar his peavey wolffgang also got some tape on the sides now you mention it.. that piece of "fretboard".. dunno what that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pluk Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 back to the question at hand, i'd do it this way: whammy -> wah -> ds1 -> muff -> chorus -> delay if your amp has an effectsloop put the chorus and delay in there i think driving the muff with the ds1 would sound cool, otherwise just switch them around or if you're never going to have both of them running at the same time it doesn't matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appelstroop Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 how much are these patch cable thingys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerpin Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 how much are these patch cable thingys I bought a high quality one here in Norway for about 90 NOK. That`s around 7-8 Punds Sterling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 yeah, i use Cordial cables (30 cm, so that's about the same length i think)... they're 15 euro a piece, but really good so well worth the cash IMO... there are much cheaper cables as well, so it's all up to what kind of quality your looking for but the important thing to know is: about 75% of the price of a cable are the plugs/connectors... so don't expect the price of a 6 inch cable to be 5% of that of a 20 ft one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pluk Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 i'd go: multi-fx >> muff >> amp and the loop like biblical said if the multi-fx has a dry out or something throw the tuner on that, if not put it in first it's all a matter of personal preference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo_River Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 I'm thinking about investing in some new effects, namely a phaser, wah and some sort of delay in addition to the Big Muff and Whammy i already have, but i dont have an effects loop in my amp (im playing through a Marshall MG30DFX at the moment). Is there an order these effects should be placed in that would minimize any loss of tone and maximise their effect?i remember seeing a topic about this ages ago but twas vapourised long ago it seems!
