BassManKev Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 despite what my sig suggests, my current signal is Deep impact synth > fuzz probe > whammy > big muff > zoom 506II (use a distortion module and tuner) > compressor > bass synth wah (soon to go) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haze015 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 sorry to double post, my current setup guitar > wah probe > whammy > amp amp > big muff > small stone > digital delay > amp where should the mighty mxr blue box come into this? i was thinking the muff should be after the whammy the the blue box after that really, but i like the muff in the loop blue box should be first. all distortion and fuzzes kick some major ass distorting the blue box. personally, i'd have the small stone before distortion, but that's a personal thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottST Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Right, now i'm confusing myself. I have: Fuzz Factory Whammy WH4 EHX Little Big Muff EHXMetal Muff EHX Small Stone EHX Microsynth Boss Tremolo Boss DD6 Korg tuner pedal. EB volume pedal Boss ME50 Digitech EX-7 any suggestions on how to order these? i have been experimenting, just looking for some outside advice. also, how would i go about putting the whammy and EX7 in a seperate loop, so as not to obliterate my guitar sound....? i've never used an AB-Y box or similar before...

BassManKev Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 kay my order has changed a bit after experimentin jus now musicman bass > fuzz probe > whammy > bass synth wah or boss fbm-1 > compressor > zoom 506II tuner > deep impact > big muff > shitty amp was concerned about puttin the zoom, which i only use as a tuner and sometimes add distortion to the muff/probe with it, as i thought the tuner might be affected, but works just fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottST Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 fuzz whammy - tuner dry out volume pedal big muff phaser metal muff ME50 tremolo delay not really sure what a EX7 is and i don't really know where to put a micro synth The EX-7 is the expression factory; basically a multi fx unit with wah, whammy, spacestation effects in it, etc. and its the microsynth i'm having a bit of trouble with! i was thinking near the start of the chain so i could distort it. how do you use AB-Y boxes? i've never ever used one or even come close to using one....

Phill Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 you've got 2 multiFX? put that in front of the muff if you use it for wah i guess, as for the microsynth, just see if it sounds better before or after distortion and place it accordingly as for AB-Y boxes, put what you want in your main chain in A and what you want to be able to bypass in B i assume. then you can switch to A B or both. i've never used one either, just guessing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassManKev Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Why do you have the compressor in the middle of your chain? since its a behringer i aint totally confident with having it near the beggining, its obv NOT true bypass, and i aint really much use at the end, so i just have it before the sb1 and the muff, tbh i hardly use it, only when im playin heavily or with a pic i suppose it would do no harm movin it to inbetwen the probe and whammy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a wah pedal but does all those built in expression effects. I've put it next to the whammy; before the muff, and i'm gonna look into AB switches and see about looping the whammy and the EX-7 off into their own little chain. the microsynth has been placed before the muff aswell, it sounds pretty fun thanks a bundle for the response, btw!

Do you really want to be sticking other effects on top of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really want to be sticking other effects on top of it? well thats what i was thinkin, but i thought it would have a greater effect nearer the beggining of the chain, so you think i should put it after the effects?

Well, i don't know how good a compressor the behringer is lol! But generally speaking, yeah it should probably go at the end... But then again, there's no rules it's just whatever sounds best to you right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 i'd have the tuner out of the whammy dry if you aren't using that, i'd probably go with the overdrive before the rat, but try both and see which sounds best with them both on. Phaser after distortion usually, but you could have it between the OD and the rat, that way you have options. and delay last unless you have the eq, then prob go with that last. so FF > whammy with TU dry out > wah > od or rat > phaser > rat of od > delay > eq that's what i'd be inclined to go with bump. So, with all the new pedals, it should be like... whammy (tuner connected to dry output) > wah > distortion or overdrive or fuzz (big muff, not fuzz factory) > phaser > flanger > delay > EQ > volume pedal is that about right? also, if I were to add the blue box, should that go where the distortion would go?

donbenjy Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 somewhere around where you put it I think...try the fuzz either side of the whammy n phaser too, just to see! it's all personal preference! I have fuzz -> phaser -> fuzz -> wah -> dist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
