![]() I'm going to keep this pedal because it has all these effects in one and I'm not really big on modulation, just a little bit to taste. These work best in the middle of your signal because they add a little bit of sparkle and color and character to your tone and they usually sound cleaner after the gain staging and filters. These include chorus, flanger, phaser and vibrato. Next in the signal chain, I like to put in modulation pedals. You should try both and see what sounds best to your ear. I like them after the gain staging because of the added intensity, but some people like them before because they're a little bit more responsive. Their tones differ depending whether or not they're before or after the gain staging. These include EQ pedals, wah-wah pedals, or an auto wah pedal and envelope filters. I'm going to keep just this overdrive pedal for now. ![]() These are first to get the signal directly from the guitar, they're affecting the gain at the cleanest place in the signal chain. Gain staging pedals include overdrive, distortion, fuzz and even compressors. These are pedals that set your level of amplification or your gain. My first pedal isn't an effect, it's my tuner, keeps me in tune and acts as a mute switch when I need it.Įffects with the most dramatic impact on the overall tone go to the front of the signal chain. Tuner pedalsĪll right, let's get started. What works best for you may not work for somebody else. It's not that it's wrong, it's just that this is a good place to start thinking about how the pedals interact with each other. ![]() With your signal chain set up this way, you want to get the most out of these two effects. Since the repeats of the delay have a pretty consistent tone effect, if you put it before your overdrive, you lose all the dynamic range the overdrive is capable of. So it's good to put this effect in front of other effects that are less susceptible to dynamics, like this delay. This overdrive pedal is sensitive to the dynamics of my playing, so it gets more or less saturated, depending whether I'm playing with a heart attack or just a soft touch. You just need to think about what each effect does and how that effect interacts with the effects before and after it. Paul Lampley: In what order should you put your effects pedals? Which one first? Which one next and which one last? It does make a difference, but there's no laws on how to get the tone you want.
