Did you know...
At The Gig Rig, and at Deluxe Guitars we are passionate about great guitar tone. We love vintage effect pedals, boutique effects, valve/tube amps and obscure hard to find toys that help us achieve tone nirvana. Great guitar tone is not a mystery, but it is a journey and we're here to help.
What's the best order to put my pedals in? The order of effects in your pedal chain is a big factor in combined effects guitar sound. Does the overdrive go before the chorus? Does the delay go before the flanger? The actual answer is…you can do whatever you like. Experimentation is the key. BUT, we can offer you a good place to start from. If you use this as a general rule, you won't go far wrong.
- 1st: Envelope Filter and Tone Shaping Effects. These include Auto Wahs and Wah pedals. These effects rely on the dynamics of your guitar tone and should be the first thing you signal sees.
- 2nd: Compression Compression can work well with a variety of different pedals, so best to have it close to the front.
- 3rd: Overdrives, Distortions and Fuzz's And in that order. If you go from the least amount of drive to the greatest amount of drive you can get some pretty cool combinations. A low gain pedal can be a great solo boost into a higher gain pedal, but the other way around can often spell disaster. There is one major exception to this rule - Germanium Transistor boosters such as Fuzz Faces, Octavias and treble boosters. The nature of the design of these effects means that they don't like to see the buffer from another pedal at the input. They prefer to see the guitar pickup. So if you have one of these type of pedals, best to stick it at the front before any buffers.
- 4th: Modulation Effects These include chorus, flanger, phasers and tremolos. The specific order of the modulation effects is probably the least important as you rarely use more than one at a time and if you do is more a sound effect than a toneful combination.
- 5th: Delay effects A good rule of thumb here if you use multiple delay effects is to put your short delay before your long delay. Adding a nice drawn out delay on top of a slap back effect can sound quite cool.
- 6th: ...and finally Reverb Technically speaking, reverb is actually a delay effect. Very short delays combined to give the effect of being in an enclosed space. Think about what happens when you shout in a hall. That's the delayed sound of your voice bouncing of the walls. Leaving this effect till last works well with many different combinations including clean and dirty sounds. Again find the sounds and combinations that work for you.
