Hi! This is Adam Anderson on behalf of Expert Village. I am going to talk to you about figuring
out the order of your pedal board. So the next step in assembling your pedal board is
determining the order in which you put your affects in. It is very important to put your
affects in the right order because each of the different affects pedals interact with
each other and you need to put them in the right order or your tone isn't going to be
the best it could be. There are different orders that you can put your affects pedals
in depending on the type of tone you are looking for. If you put your pedals in the incorrect
order, you will get tones that really aren't the best that they could be. They aren't the
tones that the individual pedals are really meant to put out there. I like to first start
with the game based affects when assembling my pedal board. The game based affect should
go first because they are the different affects that will determine the volume of the actual
guitar signal that is going through the other affects. Depending on the different kind of
set up you have with your pedal board, I would always start with your game based affects
starting with your distortion pedal. It all depends on th set up you have your pedal board
in. If yoiu are going to be running your pedal board directly into the amp before the pre-amp,
I would suggest that you put your distortion pedal first. Starting with your game based
affects like I said you should put your distortion pedal first. The game based affect should
go before your time based affects and including your time based affects, I would include your
modulation based affects like your chorus, your flanger or your phaser faster pedals.
After your modulation based affects, I would recommend that you put your time based affects
last like your reverb, digital reverb, your digital delay, analog delay or echo pedals.
The reason you want to put your affects in the right order is because you don't want
to compromise your sound.
