I stumbled onto it when my Google Blogsearch picked up this posting about pedals.<BR/> Ended up reading through your entire blog in one sitting and I'm now more determined than ever to really dig into the guitar.Markhttp://tubenexus.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57705626548683163.post-91736481757890849052008-04-04T13:29:00.000-05:002008-04-04T13:29:00.000-05:002008-04-04T13:29:00.000-05:00All of it sounds generally correct to me. Glad you mentioned trying the phaser before overdrive, that was one of my exceptions and it gets used both before and after equally. Others:<BR/><BR/>- Auto-filters or envelope filters/followers (all really the same thing as an exaggerated automatic wah) are often placed before compressor to tame harshness. Matter of fact, my Ibanez UE-303B is hard-wired auto-filter -> compressor -> chorus/flanger. <BR/><BR/>- Modulation can come after delay for a different sort of tone. Some delays have a separate loop output for the delayed signal so that you can modulate only the delays. That's a really cool sound, kind of like a warped tape echo accompanying the clean direct signal.<BR/><BR/>In some cases, you might run your flanger before distortion. That's entirely to taste, and it's more to my liking with output stage distortion than with preamp or pedal distortion. (Output stage distortion just means cranking up your amp's master volume to get your distortion rather than using pedals or any pre-gain controls on your amp. It's a whole different beast, and probably another topic for you at some point.)Scottnoreply@blogger.com
