gpuma Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 New Pedal Board Day! Not cabled yet. Is it better: Guitar ---> Tuner ---> Wah ---> Trem ---> Compressor ---> Delay (I might send this directly in the fx loop) ---> Looper or Guitar ---> Tuner ---> Wah ---> Compressor ---> Trem ---> Delay (I might send this directly in the fx loop) ---> Looper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mars_hall Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 The second is better. Maybe the Compressor before the Wah or you will amplify noise of the wah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianluca Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I'd say 2nd is better but Trem in the loop too before the Delay in my config I have Trem->Delay in FX loop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpuma Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 Yes I am leaning toward the second as well. That way I can have the trem in stereo too, if I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I agree the 2nd option is best. Oh, and do you use the looper live? I've thought about using one for when I solo, so I have a rhythm track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fxdx99 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Wow - no od/dist/fuzz pedal. Unique. Congrats and have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpuma Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 Wow - no od/dist/fuzz pedal. Unique. Congrats and have fun. I like Channel switching. I own zero od/dist/fuzz pedal. If you own a Mark V, really why would you need such pedals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koula901 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I like Channel switching. I own zero od/dist/fuzz pedal. If you own a Mark V, really why would you need such pedals? good point! That's the point in buying a multi-channel amp, set one for clean, one for crunch, and one for hi gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffB Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Or, one clean, one less clean and one crunch and then use an od stomp to change the gain level and or warmth on each channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpuma Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 the smaller the number of pedals the better IMHO. It's funny how we are obsessed over details. I mean the same people that would swear that a PCB in an amp is detrimental for the tone might use a pedal board with 20 pedals on it. But I digress. Reality is that I suck at playing guitar, I do not record and for the gigs I play, my set up is already a huge overkill with my Mesa 5:25, let alone the Mark V.

I love the swirly ambient octave fuzz guys who are all about preserving their amps natural tone. Good on them. 2) This is where I dont agree. I dont think the MkV is an overkill.

kidsmoke Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 my current path (no pun intended) VP (use tuner out, keeping it out of the signal path)>Capistan>trem>Klone>Wah>Loop> amp driven by a one spot (that'd be 6 pedals) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpuma Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 Kip, you've got a strange set up here. how did you come up with this sequence? Normally you would have guitar-wha-fuzz-modulation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gpuma Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 I am not sure at all that the numbers follow the sequence. In fact I am pretty sure they don't. If you look closely except for the dejavibe early in the chain he has a config similar to what I would expect. Have you ever tried running you board in reverse (except for the loop of course)?

bobmeyrick Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Kip, you've got a strange set up here. how did you come up with this sequence? Normally you would have guitar-wha-fuzz-modulation... Agreed. why? http://nelscline.com/tech-talk Most people would (I suspect) prefer the sound of echoed distortion or echoed tremolo to distorted echo or distorted tremolo. Think of it this way - if you were playing with an overdriven amp in a large echoey room, the sound you get would be echoed distortion, so perhaps that's what sounds more "natural"... I know that I prefer the sound of distorted wah to wah'd distortion. But if you prefer your set up, that's fine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockabilly69 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Two sounds more sensible! Let the compressor feed the trem a more balanced input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
