YellowSphere Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 which multi are you using? and I would put the OD first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oMarKs Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 No i don't know. i never saw him play with it either on live shows [e.i. fiddling with it live], so i don't know. I reckon it's just a bit of fretboard of an older guitar he smashed up. Perhaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_realist Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 I reckon it's just a bit of fretboard of an older guitar he smashed up. Perhaps Isn't it the copper plate from his wah probe ? Anyway, back to the question in hand, after much messing around with my FX chain it seems my preferred order was: guitar >whammy > wah > FF > phaser > delay > EQ > amp The problem with this is that I can't get the FF to feedback properly - now it just rumbles instead of squealing. Is this something to do with the whammy and wah not being true bypass units ? Should I put the FF first in the chain ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biohazard Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Yes, FF should come first in the chain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Plugged In Baby Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 I need help setting up my pedals, and the order in which I should place them. (I realise there are other threads about this, but I'd like to have replies to my question alone!! Call me a selfish bastard, but hey!) I was fine until I got a Fuzz Factory yesterday. Before that I just had a Whammy Pedal and a ZOOM GFX404 multieffects pedal (this is not to become a Zoom bitching thread!). As I and you all know, the Whammy 'likes' coming first. All very well. Now... when I use the the Fuzz Factory on its own, it's fine, and does what I want it to. ie. mimics Muse (my setting is 2:30 ; 3:15 ; 5:00 ; 5:00), which is like the Plug In Baby Live intro stuff if you play with the stab and the volume. However, as soon as I put this in the effects loop, it no longer wishes to work like that. So what I'm asking is what order should I put them in, or do I need to adjust the settings on the Fuzz Factory to compensate? Cheers for any help you can proffer, Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palo Alto Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Theres no problem in putting the FF first in the chain. The whammy doesnt need to be first in any chain. I prefer mine last, because then i can mess around with my delay more. Can you do anything with your effects loop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Plugged In Baby Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Well, not effects loop as such, i think the amp has a socket for one, but i dont (know how to) use it. Would it help if I did? I just have: Guitar > ZOOM > Whammy > Amp Where does the FF go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palo Alto Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Have you tried putting the FF in first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Plugged In Baby Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 I'm pretty sure i did, yeh ive done: Whammy>FF>ZOOM ; FF>Whammy>ZOOM and ZOOM>Whammy?FF i dunno, am at a loss (PS: thanks for this help Palo Alto - youre always there when we need you!)

Palo Alto Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 PS: thanks for this help Palo Alto - youre always there when we need you!) More than welcome Is there only one socket for the effects loop? If there's two their for send and receive in which you would have to put a lead in the send socket, fit it to the beginning of your chain, then the lead coming out of the chain goes in the receive. However I heard the whammy isnt suited for the chain, and is best to go directly through your guitar and into line in socket. Have you tried taking the Zoom out of the chain, and seeing what happens if its just the whammy and the fuzz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Plugged In Baby Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Yeh, I just checked, theres a send and return so are you saying to try : SEND> FF > RETURN? Yeh without the ZOOM it does work better, but then I would lose my other effects from it, which i use a lot. PS: I know everyone says ZOOM is crap, and it is compared to individual pedals, but im getting there, by starting with the two expensive ones first!

Palo Alto Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Try this out: Guitar -> Whammy -> Amp Send -> FF -> Zoom -> Receive And if you dont have enough leads just ignore the whammy. Try out the effects loop with the FF and zoom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dramatic Hammer Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Isn't it the copper plate from his wah probe ? Anyway, back to the question in hand, after much messing around with my FX chain it seems my preferred order was: guitar >whammy > wah > FF > phaser > delay > EQ > amp The problem with this is that I can't get the FF to feedback properly - now it just rumbles instead of squealing. Is this something to do with the whammy and wah not being true bypass units ? Should I put the FF first in the chain ? The FF (as well as nearly every fuzz pedal) only works properly when it 'sees' a high-impedence on the input. Your pickups are high impedence and buffered effects are low impedence (ie the wah). Fuzzes should always be first in the chain in you want them to behave 'correctly'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palo Alto Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 The Plugged in Baby, did you get the problem sorted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Plugged In Baby Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Yeh I got it sorted thanks! Although it wasn't by using the Effects Loop (which I'll get on to) I now have : Amp > ZOOM > Whammy > Fuzz > Guitar As for the effects loops, we've apparently got a very good amp (Marshall 20W valve amp) - but if you put something in the effects loops, its effect is minimal, you can barely hear whatever has been patched through!

zeuzman Posted August 24, 2004 Author Share Posted August 24, 2004 Hello. I am not sure on where to put my new Electro Harmonix Small Stone. My order is:- Telecaster/SG/Strat-Digitech Whammy 4-DS1-ProCo Rat- Wah-Chorus-Trem-Delay Where would the Stone fit? The rest of my unconventional set up is fine.

Bjorny Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Well, you said it. Unconventional.... Experiment, it won't take long, and it's not the classically accepted order as it is. First place to try is with the trem/ chorus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museic.tk Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 I've just got all my pedals that i want and want anyones advice on which is the best order to have em in. Heres what i have at the moment Gibson Les Paul ---->Digitech whammy--->Line 6 Distortion Moduler -----> Line 6 Delay ----- Crybaby ---> Volume Pedal ------> Amp is this right? Or are there some people crying with laughter at how crap i've done it?? Also, i find myself using the Delay and Whammy together a lot. Is there anyway i can use a pedal switch/selecter/divertor to just be able to push one pedal to turn them both on and off at the same time and leave myself with just the distortion?

It would be more normal to put the delay after the wah and in the FX loop if you have one, other than that it is fine although some people have the whammy after distortion - it depends how you like it:). As for turning the whammy and delay on/off at the same time, you could get a looper (not a sampler type looper) and put them in that (although they might need to be next to each other in the chain). Go to Monkey FX for some examples of switchers and loopers . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britrock Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 I find my crybaby sounds better in front of distortion, after my whammy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
So Low Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Hey people. I have my rig kinda sorted, just pondering now. I have 3 different types of disortion/overdrive/fuzz (BOSS SD-1, Marshall Jackhammer and a Big Muff). I was just wondering if there's a certain order that those 3 should be in. At the mo I have Guitar > Whammy > Wah > Muff > Jackhammer > SD-1 > Chorus > Amp Sounds good to me, but it's only going through a crappy practise amp, so I'm wondering when I get my new big shiny amp if it's gonna sound really dodgy. I reliese I've kidna rambled abit, It's late, I'm tired. I apologise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
