BassManKev Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 i have my behringer compressor sustainer full right.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 It gives you more attack because it's not compressing the attack portion of the envelope, so you're not really helping overall loudness. Still, if your rig has the headroom for those dynamics........ As it happens, my rig can only be pushed so far, so I have a brick wall limiter at the end of the chain.

the_man361 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 How does the CS-3 work? All the compressors I use, have an attack function, for determining when the compressor kicks in. If the knob is full left, the sound is squashed, if the knob is full right, there is practically no effect. Is that not the case for the boss one? i cant remember which way round it works now, but i like it pretty much all the way right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splinter Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Right, so I'm planning on making myself an effects board with room for future effects. First off I need to know what order to put them in. Currently have: MXR Phase 90, Boss DS-1, Boss DD-3 (in that order). I'm gonna add a whammy in about a week. Later on I'll be adding a Fuzz Factory, Wah and big muff. Any idea's? I've read that the FF and whammy should be somewhere first in the chain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read that the FF and whammy should be somewhere first in the chain. right... first off, id put the whammy in a effects loop, it sucks far too much tone to go at the beggining of your chain really. out of those pedals, id certainly put the fuzz factory first, as all your other pedals arnt true bypass as far as i know second in line id go for the whammy, in a effects loop pedal (like boss ls-2). then id put phase 90, ds-1, wah, big muff, dd-3. that way you have distortion both before and after the wah all imo though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splinter Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Hmmm the Boss LS-2 will still color the sound, I'd rather go for a true bypass pedal. Any advice on a cheap true bypass loop pedal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haze015 Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Hmmm the Boss LS-2 will still color the sound, I'd rather go for a true bypass pedal. Any advice on a cheap true bypass loop pedal? build one if you have a drill and soldering iron handy. anyway, personally i'd go: wah > phase90 > fuzz factory > whammy > big muff > ds-1 > dd3 if you run the phase90 before the FF, the phase will modulate the FF feedback, pointless but meh and the wah will make the FF go nuts and do all sorts of horrible stuff, if they are turned off, the FF will be perfectly normal, even on it'll work the same, just doesn't interact with the guitar's controls.

Napalm Pedals are good, totally true bypass, have VERY bright LED's and are pretty cheap. The guy is a really cool bloke too who more than deserves our support. If you want to be able to blend the levels of your seperate lines though, DHA Passive Blender will see you well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haze015 Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 i thought most wah's wernt true bypass? pretty much everything is true bypass these days. and wahs are the easy as hell to mod to TB if necessary. your unibass is very different from a wah.

BassManKev Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 yes im aware my unibas is different from a wah, i was merely saying how a none true bypass pedal effects the probe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haze015 Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 yes im aware my unibas is different from a wah, i was merely saying how a none true bypass pedal effects the probe but not every type of non-TB will necessarily affect the probe. just trust me, i've owned way too many pedals, gotta have some idea what works with what...

Phill Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 funnily enough, i've got my whammy in a seperate TB loop within my amps FX loop and i can hear no differnce in the sound when it's bypassed with the looper compared to bypassed with the whammy's bypass. however my big muff goes a lot quieter when the loop is bypassed compared to when it is engaged...

BassManKev Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 not really, as long as the supply is regulated fuzz's/distortions generally sound better with a power supply actually, as they like to have the full power all the time, rather than a continually weaking battery.

coffee_and_tv Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 ive got my own order for these, but id like to see how others would order these: fuzz factory blue box pro co rat boss tr-2 boss dd-3 zoom g7.1ut (which i use as a preamp running into an amps power amp, as well as for effects) currently they are: FF -> blue box -> rat -> tr-2 -> zoom -> dd-3 -> poweramp cheers andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revilo Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 post it in the fucking thread thats about two below this. and does it take long to test both of them in the two possible combinations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musemaniac#2 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 quit being a twat i was just asking, being that is a multi would the order differ if i'm using it for diffrent things, phase, delay etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revilo Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 quit being a twat i was just asking, being that is a multi would the order differ if i'm using it for diffrent things, phase, delay etc. me? a twat? never YOU are the twat - like the thousands of others in K'n'T a) you didn't search b) you didn't look in the thread specifically for this c) you didn't use your common sense And I'd put the Big Muff first, regardless, but try it out. There's only two pedals ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_man361 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 being a multifx pedal, it depends what you're doing with it. but in most circumstances you should put the muff first. and i agree with revilo, you could easily just have tried connecting them both ways round and seeing which you liked best, its a matter of taste (unless you're using delay, then the muff deffo goes first, unless you want something unusual). if after connecting them and trying them both ways and you still arent sure, then ask in the thread that was made to stop lots of new "what order for.." threads being made. my advice: just try them both ways round and play with them to try and create interesting sounds if you like it however you end up setting up, then its the right way round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgie Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I thought you'd have at least 3 pedals to ask about the order. Asking what order to put them in when you've only got 2 pedals is just plain lazy. Try them out, ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
