igloobuilding Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Hi there, I have the following pedals and wondered if anyone could give me some advice on the order of the pedals? My pedals are: Boss tuner Boss Octave OC3 Ashdown bass overdrive Sansamp bass driver MXR Micro amp (used as just a boost when using ashdown pedal) At the moment I have the pedals set up in the following chain: Sansamp=>Boss Octave=>Ashdown overdrive=>MXR Micro amp=>Tuner Would anyone suggest a different order or is this ok? should octave go before distortion or after? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tayste_2000 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Boss Octave=>MXR Micro amp=>Ashdown overdrive=>Tuner=>Sansamp For the following reasons Octave always first. Sansamp last so you can di your effects also the things you have before it aren't really going to be affecting it. Boost into Ashdown because this will give you almost a 2 channel operation unless of course you just want to make the ashdown louder in which case move it round. Tuner before sansamp so you can tune and mute your output to the amp and pa will also mute any hum mcaused by pedals while tuning so this isn't transfered to the pa as well. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
