| How important is pedal order? Right now I have a TU-2, DS-1, and CS-3 hooked up in that order. Is there a right or a wrong to that? Also, I have a non-Boss power supply, how does that effect sound? Thanks. |

Its common practice to have the TU-2 first for accurate tuning, the CS-3 next to prep the signal, & finally the DS-1.
In general, the sequence would go something like this: tuner, volume or wah, compressor, distortion, equalization, modulation, delay/reverb, looper. You can use a noise-gate to cut noise & a line-selector to quickly switch between a chain of distortion & a second chain of mellower effects for melodies etc.
Here's a great BOSS link for you:

In addition, go search Google for "effect pedal order" & you'll get more information than you need. Just remember, don't take my word for it; rather, take all the recommendations & use them as a starting point for you to do your own testing. Only YOUR ears know what sounds best to you.
Typically though, if I wanted to make money.. I'd listen to someone who's got a lot of it. So consider your sources. Experimentation is the only way to get your hands dirty besides its fun "getting your sound". There are a few industry standards to consider though like don't run a distortion pedal through your amplifier's effects loop.
I hope this helps a bit.  |
