  • I have the dunlop mini volume pedal— and have Black Country " The Secret Path"… that has a slot to plug in an exspression pedal…
    So if my reverb is last ,where should I put my volume pedal?

  • I’m currently working on restructuring my board. Right now it’s Polytune3 – EHX Tone Corset – EHX Spruce Goose – EHX Operation Overlord – Keeley Moon Op Amp Fuzz – JHS Unicorn – EHX Silencer.. and on the fx loop of the Silencer I’m doing OBNE BL-44 – Walrus ARP 87 – Walrus Fathom – Walrus Fundamental Ambient. Thinking about moving the Unicorn and Fuzz closer to the front of the chain

  • Nice desk! And video… lol. I think it's worth a mention that some pedals are sensitive to impedance e.g. certain fuzz pedals, so that might need to go before a buffered utility pedal (like a tuner). Also I'm sure a lot of people put EQ before the gain stages as you do, but I'd guess they would be in the minority. Many, including good old Uncle Larry use EQ after OD as a boost / shaper pedal. What ever works best for each!

  • I do everything waaay different. I do ascending levels of distortion, comp at the end, eq 2/3rds of the way thru, 4cable noise gate in an awkward spot…

  • I have been stacking my overdrives in the opposite direction for around ten years. Never bothered to try it in the opposite direction. Thanks for the suggestion!
