tell me about your worst mistake
I forgot what song I was playing and I was one of the guitarists and the singer
When I was a beginner, I had a guitar with a floyd rose. I tried to change the strings on my own for the first time, and broke the guitar. Damn it.
Something I did not do: buy a $500 Klon in 2011.
Something I did: sold too many “mojo favorites” to mention when they were still reasonably priced. Now impractical to replace 😖
I sold my guitar
I blindly bought a DS-1, and instead I could have bought a bass distortion. Also after 3 years I still can't play guitar and my bass skills don't extend much beyond CCM
My worst mistake was putting the guitar down at 14 and picking it up at 30.
Everything I practiced as a kid was still there after an afternoon of practice.
No where but up from here but I sure wish I kept at it through my teen and younger adult years.
I'm about the same way. I played from 11 to 18. Quit unintentionally for about 8 years. I'm just now after about 3 years getting back to the point I was in my teens.
Did the same but with classical guitar til 14, then nothing and finally picking up an electric again at 20
I also wish I wouldn’t have done copious amounts of drugs and quit playing in my 20s as well but here we are I’m 35 and lost a lot of good years but it’s not over for us 🤘
Same happened to me. Stopped around 20 came back in my late 30s. I'm ten or so years in and things are so much better. Maybe having more resources as we're older is an advantage
Started playing at 14. At 16 met the love of my life...or so I thought. Lol. Put the guitar down for 7 years. Started again at 23 and played for about 3 more years. Put it down again in 2005 for 17 long years. Life and stuff ya know. Started playing again April of 2022 at 42 years old. I will never quit again.
My biggest mistake was not getting a Looper Pedal right away to capture the moments of inspiration and awesomeness when they arrive. It's also the best practice tool you can get in my opinion.
I have grown to do melodic, harmonies and intrinsic picking parts just by having a looper👍🏻
With that 💯✖️‼️ I first discovered looping with my line 6 spyder jam and for practice it’s amazing, loop a riff over a beat or the gnome and then lead over it, by far the best tool I’ve ever used for practicing everything from harmony to timing to scales to rhythm to you name it, you can’t replace jamming with someone else, but when alone the looping gave me leaps of knowledge and skill just epic, also so much fun to stack riffs and leads. Agreed! 👍
that wash pedal is absolutely beautiful and mysterious
My biggest mistake was running straight to boutique, expensive pedals that had "perfect" sounds. Most of them ended up getting sold. I've found that it's much better to try the cheapest ones first, see if you like that particular family of sound(s), and then upgrade if there are specific features, build quality, or aesthetics that you want.
great tip thanks!
That's good advice, thanks!
I have like 5 good or great Chorus pedals and have settled on the one knob mxr micro chorus
🎯+1 it’s a good idea to browse secondhand listings and “sort by cheapest” when you’re in the exploratory phase and first becoming acquainted with different effects. Flesh out your tastes with standard fare bargains and then look to upgrade the flavors after identifying your favorites
@@rasm0225 just bought the micro and it rocks! Epic tone and easy use, really loving ither 11 o’clock or 1 o clock … then for epic ness dimed full right 🤘
Anytime I deviate from my current set up or buy a new pedal I think I need, I always come back to the set up I have now. I love exactly what I have and the only new additions that I have picked up recently is strictly utility.
RUclipsrs make the new stuff appealing because that’s their job. I already found the tone I was chasing.
Digging through the reviews and fiddling with the sound is kinda a thing of it's own. A special experience. An inspiring one. And novadays, anything that's raising your resource and inspires you is really, really valuable.
Hey, great channel. I've purchased a PRS Custom 24 SE Eriza Verde because of you. It got me out of my 15-year hiatus after suffering carpel tunnel symptoms with my Ruby Les Paul studio, although it still sounds awesome. Now, building a music studio. Thanks for bringing me to my true passion.
Volume is more likely used to go after your dirt or even in the loop of your amp. Its placed there because u have a volume pot on your guitar making it less effective to have 2 volume controls directly after one another and it allows u to do volume swells into your gain tones making it rise into saturation with your volume pot and/or keep your gain tone intact while doing volume swells with the volume pedal. Obviously there is no right or wrong within effect chains and it comes down to what u find inspiring and functional, but definitely something that is worth messing around with and gives u more options.
I had a load of great pedals, but got fed up with crackly patch leads so sold them all and bought a multi effects box. Although it was fun I missed being able to put things in the 'wrong' order! I have now bought individual pedals again!
If you want a multi effect that you can change order, get a HX stomp
Could not agree more with this video, and I can say I have not really ever made any of these mistakes. All my pedals, which are fairly just the basics, I've played for years apon years. Even my guitar I use most, is my 94 fender 40th anniversary strat, got it in spring of 95, and only love it more every time I plug in. Something about playing something for a long time, and knowing you are the one that's truly broke it in. It's home ❤
This is super helpful! Currently the only pedals I own are a Kirk Hammett Wah pedal and a Boss Distortion pedal. Now I’m thinking I should try and use my distortion pedal as some nice overdrive🤘
That tone in the last jam was killer. Love how it broke up but still kept that twangy clean tone audible.
One of my biggest mistakes happend decades ago as a member in a band. In the practice room, I just couldn't get that fat sound I was looking for. Changed about everything. Amp, cabinet, distortion, whatever.
Only...One night, I was alone in the room, jamming along to some music, having fun. In the process I moved the cabinet...and boom. There it was. The sound, the pressure.
So it turned out that I just happend to get the worst possible place to put my cabinet in the room.
Acoustics matter, play with the room!
I'm in my 40s and just now trying to learn music. Been strumming ukulele and harmonica, but getting my first electric guitar this month and am going to try your course. Thanks for videos!
Great video. I have been using my compressor in the fx loop on my Marshall and love it there
I think I saw a couple of my guitar pedal demo thumbnails in there! Nice. Great video!
this is the demonstration ive been longing for and i didnt even know it 😭!! 🎉
that song with the wash pedal was amazing, a genuine 10/10, if i was a guitarist and i came up with that, i would put that on an album i made
I love that you got one of the 1000 Lizard Queen pedals. I got one as well. Its got a thing to it for sure. But I love how you are proudly displaying that one along with the other select few you decided to have in your background. Great videos man. Thanks for what you do.
I immediately noticed that too.
I was on the live stream when it launched but didn't have the money to buy one, now I'm filled with regret.
I love the sound of a univibe sandwiched between two overdrives, through an ac30 style amp *chefs kiss*
Moving from acoustic to electric and exposing myself to all the grear! Lol, so many pedals, so little time.
Tyler, thanks again. Love the content. Using n g super system is helping me take my playing to a new level. 🤘
I introduce to you ………… the HX Stomp 🤩
Worst misstate was getting the biggest pedal board I could find and loading it up with a ton of pedals. Tone suck, power issues, cable problems, you name it.
That pedal storage drawer!!! Love it!! Mine are on shelves. In drawers. In plastic tubs. And probably 4 pedalboards. Hahaha.
Love that board at the start, fathom is a must on my board
Only problem with spending as much time with my pedals as I do watching videos about them is I need to get the captor for silent practice. Just got a board that fits all my pedals without a bunch of off-the-board stragglers…fixing my main squeeze amp is top priority (just replaced the power transformer, now I need a cap and 2-4 tubes), then tidier Mogami cabling, and Captor hopefully next month. Come ooonnn, overtime!
Great to see The Wash getting some love :)
While a "new" effects pedal, or effects "chain", amp, guitar (insert your ideal item of choice) can indeed create those Sparks of Inspiration.... so can more time using what you already have and learning new things about those items.... or new ways to approach that Awesome Guitar sitting there.... right behind you! Grab it! Play LOTS!
Delay into distortion sounds awesome for riffs. Because as the trails die off they clean up. Obviously you cannot use the same settings as normal because the compression of the distortion changes the feedback required.
I think my worst mistake is buying overdrive pedals, I've had 100's of them probably. But in reality there is only about 7 original designs that builders follow and "tweak". This opens a world of possibilities and I'm not knocking the boutique pedal industry at all, but for me personally most of these pedals sound ballpark similar to other pedals. At one point I had 10 different overdrives and distortions because I felt like I was getting different layers of texture to my sound. I could stack pedals to do things that on their own just wasn't possible. But playing live is a nightmare, trying to get your levels evened out so you don't have one pedal louder than another. Then you got vintage style circuits that have a low volume output compared to a newer pedal that has more head room and just plain more volume. It doesn't end there modulation, delay, and reverb you can go just as nuts. At a certain point though I found I was tweaking pedal and adjusting things more than I was actually playing. Also in actuality I go for a very specific sound and I don't stray too much away from it. With all those pedals I was trying to dial in about the same sound! I finally came to the conclusion that a nice crunch sound with a little boost was all I needed and I sold all my pedals. I also about the same time realized the venues I play at don't care if I have my ideal tone. People want to come to the club hang out and talk to their friends and in my case I'm the background music to their evening. I've moved from tube amps and got a Boss Katana 100. With Tube amps I always went for the sweet spot, and it was drowning our vocals. We now keep the volume down on stage and the PA has the headroom to make us sound great! I never was happy with my tube amps if I didn't have the tubes cooking a little bit. with the Katana I don't use half of the features on it. But I've got a great clean sound with a boost option and effects, and nice marshall crunch sound with boost and effects, and metal sound that I use for leads sometimes, and an acoustic amp sound. Everything I was doing with pedals and tube amps but wrapped up in a combo amp that sounds damn good. Its louder than my Vox AC30 and comes in at 29 pounds. I kept my wah wah and added a boss footswitich to my pedal board but that's it. Every thing I need is in the amp. I can go silent, or I can go loud as all get out. I've adopted a minimalist lifestyle when it comes to gear and I get it . Part of whats cool about pedals is the hunt for something new. But I've been there and done that. I want simple and not a lot of things to lug to a gig and setup. My Katana 100 is the same every night and hasn't let me down once. I can't say the same about pedals or tube amps. At the end of the day you do you, and don't worry what tone snobs think... If it sounds good it is good period!
My mistake was using a multi effects floor unit for years when all I really needed was a few effects out of it. Finally ended up switching to pedals during pandemic. But I did love my boss me-30..
Hey I really love this channel I’ve only been playing a couple years, but I love these videos it’s really inspiring to see someone share their love for music. I was wondering if u ever made a video or plan to make one about setting up ur very own at home studio. I started a band recently and currently we just play in my basement with very minimal equipment. I’d love to see what it really takes to create a space for practice, creating, and recording music. Keep up the good work and have a great day!
I’ve just found it today 😂
My tone sucked using the older all in one digital effects units so I built a board using the famous (mostly analog) pedals and my tone became magical…
Although the newer multi effects rigs sound much better.., Im sticking with my pedal boards…also easier to look and see where shit is set without having to pull up parameters…. Love all my specialized pedals…
If you can find a copy, whether to own, or to borrow from your library, try and find Craig Anderton's 1984 classic "Guitar Gadgets". Apart from detailing the function of every knob to be found on commercial pedals up to that year, it does a nice job of orienting the user towards a "systems" approach to their pedalboard, and understanding why altering the order of things has the effect it does.
I traded my old precious BOSS DS-1 in for a DigiTech multi-effects unit... I wish I could have it back (the same one) but the multi-effects actually helped me a lot in understanding other kinds of effects and amp modeling.
I feel like that move is pretty common. At some point we all want to be exposed to the available effects, and most of us need to part with something to make it happen.
I don’t have a mistake to mention that hasn’t already been said, but what I will add is that you should also spend time with just favorite guitar>favorite amp. There’s been so many times I’ve felt stuck in a rut with my board and gear, so I’ve gotten in the habit of unplugging the board and just playing straight in. Without fail ideas start flowing within fifteen minutes.
glad to see you rocking that danelectro 84 still
Rather than "correct order" or "wrong order", I would say most used versus least used. Great video
I’ve always done boost-> dirt, because then you can stack them for extra dirt. Another trick, run an analog delay with a tap output into a digital delay with a tap output, and put a cable between both tap outputs, it will link the tap tempos up, then you can set the digital delay divide knob to really get crazy.
Interesting, but is there delay pedals with tap-outputs ? Generely it's tap input, no ? BR.
Same, I just feel like boosting into any kinda distortion/overdrive works better as an actual boost, i.e. doesn't change the character of the sound too much just pushes it a bit harder. Putting the boost pedal afterwards affects the tone of the pedal you're trying to boost too much
@@ThePafus I got it to work, I have a young pedals time stomp and a visual sound tap on my board.
I'm totally overwhelmed. There are so many combinations of things! Even just all the settings on a cheap Peavy modeling amp!
I found the core pedals I wanted, then got a modeller for the amp stuff, went ampless. Endless tones with some signature sounds 🤘
That blue pedal sounds gorgeous!
Pedals are absolutely meant to open the doors to creativity and more imaginative ways to compose music, not as some crutch for sure. The pedals that I have always give me some sense of interest and motivation to enjoy making different sounds, or even just enhance the sounds I already long for. Cheers as always for the great and anecdotal music advice.
Here is one that I have learned recently. Beware of switching power supplies. Some pedals don't like them. I have three pedals that will cycle the volume from normal to lowered volume. I have a second isolated power supply on my main board just for these pedals. Sometimes an issue might not be your pedals but your power supply.
I absolutely love your videos! This is perfect as I am starting to play around with pedal boards myself and I’m starting to see my collection of pedals starting to grow and you are right, I’m not spending enough time playing around with them. What’s the brand you recommend the most? I’ve found the “Boss” pedals seem to be the best in my limited exposure. What are your thoughts? Again, awesome videos!!!!
Adding a 6th pedal on a daisy chain power supply killed the whole sound! Strymon Zuma fixed the problem and reduced a lot of noise. 🤟😎🤟
love to see a hungry robot shout out! He makes some of the coolest stuff I've played.
My guitar pedal mistake was letting go of some classic pedals that I should have kept: An early Pro-Co Rat, A pre-EB MXR Distortion+, a Original Tube Screamer, some early Boss pedals and so on. Nowadays, I only have three pedals, An HX Stomp, a Boss Super Overdrive and a Boss looper. I’m not getting rid of any more pedals at this point.

I'd like to say that there's some effects you can only get from certain pedal orders that can be considered wrong. For instance, the secret behind the delay effect king gizzard uses all of the time is putting your delay pedal first in chain.
I have a guitar. I do not have any pedals, and I dont even have an amp. I just plug my guitar into a 6.5mm audio input in the microphone I use for my pc with the input monitor switch flipped on. Ive tried digital amps but deleted them all because I do not understand anything, and it leads to delay between playing and hearing.
And I love it all more than just about anything right now
I doubled two different overdrive and distortion pedals just to see how it sounded. It was the most powerful overdrive/distortion effect I could've asked for without ruining the tone. I might be crazy, but I liked the effect.
I do the same actually, i have a ehx metal muff going into a tube screamer, both on low gain. the muff has that chug while the TS adds clarity and punch, also more knobs = more versatility
Using more than one or combination of overdrive and distortion pedals is pretty common
I've been experimenting with feeding a fuzz into my new favourite distortion.. it just sounds like a blast of noise if I get it wrong, but when I have the fuzz dialed just right it might be the best tone I've managed to come up with.
@@SplotchTheCatThing try drive into fuzz if you haven’t yet!
@@CMHobbies I think I've done that once or twice. Harmonics got suuuuper-shiny :D
Hey this was a really easy to watch all the way through video. Can you do more of this format just A/B’ing your gear. Different guitars through same rig. Different rig through same guitar. Sam amp and guitar with all different tubes etc
I love that danelctro with the lipstick pickups
The biggest mistake I made was hauling a bunch of stuff around to play in bars with. Now I use a Line 6 POD w/fooswtich into a Kustom KG30 combo I restored and I've never been more happy with my live sound and ease of setup for gigs.
I still have an original MXR Disortion pedal which I bought in 1978 and a Boss CE-2 which I bought the following year.
WOOOH THE BOSS SD-1!!!! Great pedal, amazing price, my favourite pedal that I own (I own 3, a looper, fuzz and the sd-1). Incredible sound and very versatile! One day I will have money, get a job etc but for now, that keeps me busy. Sometimes its good having less, making the most from what you have. Chorus/delay/tremelo pedal is next on the list!
My biggest mistake was getting rid of my whole pedalboard and amp setup for the line 6 hx stomp. Was more of a frustration than anything. Being a tweaker I thought it would be appealing. Slowly went back to building up a pedalboard again.
Another thing would be buying and trading pedals when I should have just stuck with what worked for me and my style.
Lastly would be overlooking effects like octave and modulation like chorus as inspiration. Even if they’re used sparingly and or momentarily.
Causing me to play differently and come up with something new.
Big mistake 4 me was buying the cathedral reverb petal (amazing petal now I know)… and not knowing about the FX loop and having my modulation petals in front of the amp, sure it sounded cool In certain bits but it was mostly “wrong” and harsh sounding, later learned the fx loop and wish I didn’t sell it, I’ve never been huge on petals, Peavey JSX plugged straight in. But I’ve learned to love a few simple but powerful petals, Holy Grail reverb, carbon copy delux delay, wah, and just recently micro chorus. Small but very very effective. Rock on guitar lovers! Don’t forget about the FX loop 😅
good advice for all the rest of the gear too.. all the guitars that linger in the back cupboards.
I've noticed the difference the guitar and amp makes in a pedal's effect. I use a GearBox dual OD. It sounds fantastic with my single coil bridge pickup on my 2006 Suhr Classic T into a Fender Tone Master. When I play my humbucking 1997 PRS Cu22, it sounds awful. Rather than screaming sustain on Channel 2, I get this muddy bottomy sound. I have to completely reconfigure the settings to get a good sound out of the PRS with that pedal. It's easier to just put a MojoMojo pedal on the board and use that with the PRS.
My pedal board has gone through many phases as I wanted a certain set up but thought I’d try to do it with budget pedals. I play using amp modelers, so I ended up paying way more to get to where I am now than if I had just bought the gear I wanted in the first place. Not that you can’t get good sounds on a budget, but in my case it ended up costing more in the long run.
I just practice on acoustic most of the time. It keeps my hands strong, can be played at reasonable volumes, and keeps me honest. Then when I play my strat with light gauge strings and lots of toys, it's inspiring and extra fun.
I picked up a Metal Zone and never really bothered to learn it's nuances for a long time. It is actually a very versatile pedal. The other night mistake has been "pausing " my playing for a very long time.
This happened to me recently, I bought a pedal a didn’t spend time experimenting it so I just put it on the shelf for months. One day I thought “Let’s have a chance again” and boooommm… love it and never took off my pedalboard
What you find "wrong" is subject.
Dig any sound you find personally pleasing
I’ve sold a lot of gear and dabbled here and there…constantly trying new gear to find “my tone.” What I finally landed on was something surprising. I was a HUGE Nirvana fan growing up and only dreamed of being able to play the Cow Palace and hate it the same way Kurdt did. Well, he played mostly with Fender Electrics and Gibson acoustic. I realized that I play Gibson electric and Fender Acoustic guitars. The exact opposite. What does that even mean? Well, that over the past three decades, I’ve managed to let my soul sound find me. And for what it’s worth…I’ve well outgrown Nirvana in the last two decades and don’t think I’ve got any sort of desire to be like him anymore. I’ve grown up, which the music industry never gave him the chance of. Thank the Gods for RUclips, where we can be our best rock stars! Keep rocking, my fellow Berklee musician. I am a supporter of GSS, keep up the good work. 😊
This is good stuff, I see for the most part I hook my pedals up wrong. Gonna do some re-arranging. Thanks for this video
There is no wrong way with pedals, unless of course you plug them in wrong!
(Like guitar cable into the output jack)
I have one pedal. A Boss Compression pedal I use for my bass to get better recording tone but also use it for my guitars some times. I'm not a rocker, per se, so I don't feel the need for distortion. I like some rock but am not a die hard fan of rock distortion.
My biggest pedal mistake was a long time ago, selling my Rockman X-100 that someone built into a pedalboard with 5 stomp buttons. One was bypass, clean 1 and 2, and both overdrives. Sold it for $50. Now you can't find one for a decent price as a stand alone unit, not even mentioning having it IN a working pedalboard.
Fun fact: Def Leppard recorded an entire album with their lead guitarists guitar plugged straight into a Rockman X-100 headphone amp, then straight into the soundboard.
I rarely use any of my modest pedal collection (mainly because I really don’t know what I am doing with them so hit and miss) that said I found if I am recording on logic, I record clean and try inbuilt effects afterwards that seems to work best. So now with your advice maybe I should learn more on how to use the dozen pedals I have and spend more time trying them properly !
I got my first pedals in the 1970's and some were battery operated. I wish I could recreate some of the sounds I got as different batteries became weak. I never realized there is a wrong or right way to sequence pedals. Just cared about the sounds I got. Had fun looping pedals back through themselves after going through another pedal or two.
Tyler made the video I wish existed 10 years ago when I first started
One of my worst mistakes was taking close to 10 years to try a fuzz face circuit. Idk what i was thinking. It's glorious
Guilty :) I am a lover of Strymon pedals. I have six of them on my board. The Cloudburst Ambient Reverb pedal is the latest from them, which is crazy cool.
Run your reverb before overdrive or distortion with single coils to get a 60's surf vibe. Cool sound.
I do this all the time I need to get a reverb for normal reverb purposes
I do this for wall of sound shoegazy stuff. It took me too long to realize this was okay to do.
If you have two or more distortion pedals ( or 2 or more ODs or 2 or more Fuzz pedals) put one before and one after to try them out, you may do what I have done- before and after envelope filter
I can do either or both
IDK, I don't use pedals or even amps for that matter. Polychrome DSP, Bias FX2, Neural DSP is all I need, and I couldn't be happier. I do own a signature Petrucci Wah though.
Ngl I love mixing and matching my distortion pedals. I have a few cheapo dist pedals, a few good ones and a few great overdrives and drives and if I wanna annoy my neighbours I use them all at the same time.
HOLY CRAP I NEED THAT PEDAL The Wash!!!! I have been pursuing THAT sound for ages for my cleans and could never quite get it.
A a beginner, trying to figure out where to put a looper into an effects amp (with no effect pedals up front but still get effects). Finally figured out best I could do was buy a new effects amp with an effects loop and put it there.
I kind of like running Uni-Vibe before Fuzz and Tremolo, especially harmonic, after a delay. Trust you gut, find what you like and stick to it and don’t get a bunch of stuff for the same sounds
For some reason the most of my pedals - overdrives. I don't know why, but I like it :)
Can you do a video with your favorite guitar strings and what brands to stay away from?
Biggest tip, if you want to try out stuff: Buy used, sell used. I've run through a dozen overdrives just to realize that the Boss BD-2 i had was doing the job fine and bought one again. The grass isn't always greener but at least i didn't sink like 500 bucks in new fancy overdrives, instead i bought used and sold them at the same value. (sometimes i even made a profit)
Great now I want another pedal, that Wash pedal sounds fantastic. Worst mistake, selling my LP Custom.
I actually like my modulation effects at the very end of the chain for a more dramatic effect
Hey bro, it would be super cool if you tried out the Line6 Firehawk 1500 and let us know what ou think about Line6's top line of guitar amps
Ernie ball volt is awesome as they can be daisy chained together.
I prefer to have the reverb AFTER the looper so that way you won't have cuts in reverb trails at the loop end
Tyler you should make a review on the zoom g1x four it’s really good
Only have 4 pedals, tuner, wah, zoom multi, and reverb. I'm planning on getting an overdrive and a chorus
In an effects chain i look at the dist/od's as the amp. Now what do we put in front of an amp? I'll set up like 2 or 3 "correct" chains and connect them all together. That way i can choose to use them correctly or incorrectly and blend
The empires heavy is my main distortion pedal. I use it for everything, but its low gain sounds are very weird, but boosting it masks it.
i started learning guitar in 2019 and bought a pedal a few months later, cause i wanted a looper. come to find out when it arrives, its not a looper, but it can be connected to one. it is a redfox mosky audio. i never really use it cause im not sure what the effects do. do u think its a pedal worth giving a try?
GREAT video!
It really inspired me to watch more RUclips videos
I've got plenty of pedals (and plenty of wall warts to plug them in with), and I've been shopping for a power supply.
I found out this week that the Phoenix is no longer being made by Walrus Audio (no word on what - if anything - will replace it), so in continued research I found a few comments about it being noisier than players prefer. That might just be a few people not connecting/using it right, idk.
Now I'm leaning toward the Chiokolate by Chioks. It's got all the mA I need, but I love the functionality of the Phoenix (and Walrus Audio's support is second-to-none).
Any thoughts on this?
My mistake was fender vs marshall amps. Gibson vs fender guitars. Finding the reality of quick breakup vs power clean. Once that journey ended I found I love single coils into very loud old fender amps. I then add my pedals to that mix. I can play anything from the highest gain to the sweetest cleans. You can always add but it's hard to take away. Try a Pharoah supreme with a 180 watt fender super twin and a vintage strat. You will destroy any high gain amps.
Salivating at that Lizard Queen at the back
I've got most of my filters after my distortion, including my wah.
I found out from a representative at Sweetwater music that a tuner pedal does have a specific place in the signal chain, “The signal coming from an FX loop is quite a bit hotter than the signal coming from a guitar, which is what most tuners are designed to analyze. For this reason, the TC pedal might not work well in an effects loop. My experience has been that tuners will always work the best and give the most accurate results if they are as close to the guitar in the signal chain as possible. Typically one of, if not the first, pedals on a pedalboard.”
I like my reverb before my fuzz/OD to get wild trails.
