Signal Path Help

[JMT3781]

OK so it all starts with a Radial Big shot signal selector

then effects in the chain are...

3 leaf audio envelope filter
ebs octa bass
ebs reverb
Boss TU2
Boss Chorus
and
Demeter opto compulator (compressor)

what do you folks reckon>?

From those, id go for tuner > compressor > octave > filter > chorus > reverb

Tuners and octaves at the beginning can help with more accurate tracking. Compressors are a more personal choice, but I like mine at the start so it doesnt muffle up some of my dirt pedals.

Nice one.

Some people prefer the envelope filter before the compressor too so that it doesnt affect the dynamics going into it. Something you may want to try too.

I would do almost the same as the suggestion above, but I would put the compressor after the filter for two reasons: It will give you more dynamic range going into the filter and of course a broader input envelope means more quack, plus it will take the edge off any sharp resonant peaks coming out of the filter so it will protect any speakers and human ears that happen to become embroiled in your musical procedures.

+1 to that. i notice a bit of a volume drop with my groove regulator, so if you have a compressor that can boost (surely most do ?) then this can compensate. win, win.
