Guitar effects pedal chain: what is the PROPER order for these pedals?
I have been playing the guitar for 33 years. I like my pedal chain the way it is set up. I've tried various other variations, but this is my chain: Guitar to Digitech Whammy Pedal to DS-1 distortion to Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man to CS-2 Compressor Sustainer. I would like to know the recommended way these pedals should be chained together. Also, where is the best place to put a volume pedal and a wah-wah pedal in this chain? Thank you for your suggestions.
The way you have it is fine. It's all subjective to the order you want, and in what creates the less noise. If you have too much noise, you can eliminate or reduce it with a noise suppressor. The order you have is fine, but if you have an effects loop, you can move the memory man through the loop. The loop is the best place for modulation effects, like delay, phaser, tremolo, chorus. The rest should be upfront, after the guitar.
If you add the wah pedal, it should go after the volume pedal. The volume pedal controls the volume, so it should be before everything, to cut the signal from the guitar out first. Last should be the compressor, like you have it. I like my delay in the chain before the compressor, as it will distort every note a little bit... which is personal preference. I also have a second delay in the loop, for solo's. I make sure that delay has a "mix" feature, which allows me to adjust the volume of the delay in the mix, so I put it back as sort of a hidden delay or a light "background" delay. This just comes down to preference.
