i would have been surprised if you hadn't! I was just thinking your combo is really crying out for it!

The part comparing the tank to the pedal, was for the benefit of some of our other members, who may not have ever used an old style spring reverb. :wink:

To tell the truth 12B I bought all but one of those pedals before I bought the amp. Really you need nothing but the amp, tuner and maybe the reverb pedal once in a while. But since I have them I put them on a board!! :lol: :wink:

You'd be surprised at the tones I can get just from the amp and the guitars!! 8) :)


same here, i have a clean boost, tuner, acoustic simulator (that i dont use) and i used to have a blues driver, distortion pedal. i am going to get a really nice chorus pedal soon tho.

so that will leave me with a tuner, chorus, and boost on my board along with the amp's footswitch.

Here's another good article on this subject...

http://www.bossus.com/boss_users_group/ ... ticleId=39

So according to this article, you'd want to go with the followin setup:

guitar-->wah-->distortion-->tremolo-->delay-->amp

And since you have multiple overdrive/distortion pedals, you'll have to mix and match until you find the best combination. I've found that putting the heaviest distortion (ie. the Big Muff) first seems to work well in my setup.


Agreed!! I don't know if you use compression but I put mine in between the wah and distortion. Some put it after the distortion. You just have to experiment and find what works for you. Everybody has different ears and (likes)needs!! :wink:

That's what's great about Velcro!!! :)


Yeah, thank goodness for Velcro! I mix things up on my board quite a bit, as well...

Ok so I've figured it out for my ears. I now have guitar > TS808 > Big Muff > WH10 Wah > DD-3 Delay. That Tremodillo was sucking my tone. I found if I use the Bluesbreaker also it kills my tone. I'll stick to this for a while. I appreciate all of your posts everyone!

Cool! Sometimes you just have to mix and match pedals until you find the right combination...
