If you use a harmoniser or octave pedal this
would come next They like a "dry" signal and
don't work as well with any modulation on the
input signal A compressor really helps even out
the signal when using a harmoniser too Put
your Tremolo here too
Next would come any cho
rus vibrato tremolo
flange or vibe effects I pre
fer the sound of a chorused
distortion to a distorted chorus (if you know
what I mean) It also makes for a cleaner signal
and lower noise overall when you have distor
tion and chorus/flange etc on at the same time
Finally put your delays and reverbs (in that
order) reverb after delay sounds more natural
and makes the delay sound bigger and
smoother
Use the best quality patch leads you can get
Not much sense in forking out a fortune for
your boutique pedals and using low quality ca
bles to hook them up with I've even known one
guitarist who dispensed with patch leads and
soldered all his pedals together using high qual
ity oxygen free screened cables
If you use a power supply get a regulated sup
ply that can deliver enough current for the ped
als that you use Most supplies will have the
maximum current load (expressed in miiliamps)
and most pedals have the current draw listed on
the base of the pedal or next to the power sup
ply input
N B Some old effects and boutique fuzzes with
germanium transistors like to work off batteries
and don't like power supplies at all
HARMONISERS
MODULATION
MOST IMPORTANT!
