Pedal board question...
-
Hey everyone!
I wanted to ask you guys:
What order is the best way to put the pedals on the board. If I have say a tuner, reverb, octave pedal, loop station... what's the best order you think? Kind regards/Emil -
Interested in this question as well as I'm trying to get together a simple setlist to maybe try and play out live somewhere. Since I have some existing gear, wanted to combine into a really small pedal board to feed into a stage amp or house.
Right now I'm leaning towards:
- Tuner - clean signal for tuning
- Compressor - clean signal to help even out volume levels between fingerpicking and strumming
Unkowns:
- I want to have some reverb and a loop station, but not sure where they sit relative to a preamp/DI type box.
- I want to buy a decent acoustic amp (TBD, don't have one yet) that the pedalboard goes into.
- I want to be able to use amp and feed the house where needed - not sure if I should get a DI box with dual output, or an amp with the right output. If I do the DI box, then that's tricky since the output would be before effects, unless DI box has effects loop.
- Loop station should probably be after reverb
So tentatively I think with an amp with a house output.
Tuner -> Compressor -> DI w/ EQ -> Reverb -> Loop Station -> Amp -> House
Not sure, open to input from others who have done this.
