topochico03 Posted December 26, 2022 Posted December 26, 2022 Hey you guys I just got my first board for Christmas and am looking for advice on how to structure my new set up I'm really new to using pedals I'm curious if any of y'all can help me arrange these in a way that sounds best! I'm going through a rumble in 500 but am getting an 800 here pretty soon and play on a fender jazz. I'm mainly trying to make sure I don't blow my amp or flip anything else up haha. In this order i have a MXR studio compressor, Digitech synth wah, Boss GT-18, bass pi big muff, boss equalizer GE-7, Habit by bliss, Rainbow Machine. I am using a mxr iso brick 3 Quote
LarsTimm Posted December 26, 2022 Posted December 26, 2022 What sorts of effects are you using in the gt-1b? Quote
itu Posted December 26, 2022 Posted December 26, 2022 The tricky ones are dist/OD/fuzz, comp, and wah. First thing would be to use two at the time. Try them both ways: wah + comp, muff + wah, and muff + comp. When you find the best combinations, put the rest after these. Maybe the comp can be the last one in line, but do some trials. 1 Quote
lidl e Posted December 27, 2022 Posted December 27, 2022 (edited) Personally, after compressor and before synth i would have any overdrive/fuzz. My chain is always comp (if using)-dist-octave-synth - modulation EQ after synth before modulation if using Edited December 27, 2022 by lidl e Quote
skidder652003 Posted December 27, 2022 Posted December 27, 2022 I'd slip a tuner in there as well.. 1 Quote

fretmeister Posted December 27, 2022 Posted December 27, 2022 There’s no rules. Trust your ears and experiment, that’s part of the fun. 2 Quote
paulo m Posted December 27, 2022 Posted December 27, 2022 Compression is excellent first for it is feeding a uniform signal' then Octave' followed by Envelope Filter' then Overdrive'Grit' Fuzz..? a combination of those alone will supply Synth Bass Sounds.. Then Chorus' Flanging' Phaser' Reverbs... Etc' etc.. As has been stated here there are no hard & fast rules to this... But certain Combination's definitely work better than others.... Quote
