Hi guys I have decided to start a new activity! In this thread I will be talking about gear, cables, pickups , guitars etc.
If you have any questions or just need an advice you can always ask me! I will do a research for you and will share my experience!
I have 14 years of it smile.gif
I want to start with a post that was confusing for me at first and took a while to figure out!
How to connect pedals?
Attached Image
The whole chain can be broken into three simple groups:
Pre gain - Gain - Post Gain


As you can see on the picture (starting from guitar):
Pre Gain
-Utility effects - tuners, metronomes etc.
-Wah- wah/ volume pedal//envelope filters
-Harmonizers/Whammy/Pitch shifters
-compressor
Gain
-Distortions/overdrives/fuzz
Post Gain
-Chorus,Flanger,Phaser,tremolo
-Delay, Reverb, Looper

Let me know if you have any questions or need help setting your pedals!

Great thread Alex!! So this means that you connect everything in front of the amp.. you don't use the loop for delay and modulation fx. Am I right?

I go in front my amps don't have effect loops smile.gif
And I think it is harder to control your pedals when it is going though the loop! I don't know why smile.gif
How do you plug in?

In the last two years I have been using Pod X3 live and then Pod HD 500 as a multiFX with a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier. Sometimes using everything in front of the amp and other times using the four cables method. But I'm now starting to experiment again with pedals..
