2542.0. "In what ORDER to you place your stomp boxes ?" by RAVEN1::JERRYWHITE (Ren, what's `TFSO' mean ?) Tue Jun 23 1992 12:25

    For you user's of stomp boxes .... what order do you stick them in, and
    why ?  What pro's and con's have you stumbled across when switching
    different stomps around ?

2542.1The SCARY rig ...RAVEN1::JERRYWHITERen, what's `TFSO' mean ?Tue Jun 23 1992 12:2710
    Here's what I have:
    
    Strat --->Ibanez Tube Screamer Classic ---> Cry Baby Wah ---> Washburn
    EQ ---> Laney ProTube Combo
    
    I use the EQ for boosting leads only, so I figured I have it last in
    the chain ... I don't really know why ... 8^)

    Guitar --> Wha --> Amp input --> fx out into Delay/harmonizer --> fx in
    
    --> power amp out to speakers.

    Lesse...currently:
    
    Guitar -> amp
    
    
    When I finally bother setting everything up, it'll be like:
    
    Guitar -> bypass switch -> chorus -> EQ -> amp
                   \                            ^
                    \                          /

    Scary,
    
    I have always put the chorus 1st so I'm adding the color of the chorus
    to the distorted signal.  I put wah last....
    
    Dawg---> Les Paul ---> Tube screamer ---> chorus ---> Wah ---> amp
    
    I have no idea why......

    RE: -1
    
    That's the way to do it. The compressor drives the whole line.
