Boss Effects Pedals

[bcjim]

Can someone tell me if I have my pedals in the right order. Here is what I have. The parentheses is where I have each hooked into on the pedal. They are all Boss pedals. Thanks

(amp)----tuner----metal core----(output)noise suppresser(input)----eq----guitar

I would usually go:

Guitar > Tuner > EQ > Metal Core > Noise Suppresser > Amp

But you can hook them up anyway you feel they sound best.

My line would be

Guitar ---> Tuner ---> Distortion ---> EQ ---> Noise Suppressor ---> Amp

This allows you to reshape your sound for guitar solo's (classically adds mids to compensate for the mid-scooped sound of a typical metal style distortion unit (a mid scoops is great for riffing but not solo's)). Noise supressor at the end as High gain distortions and heavy EQ usage adds noise. Placing the EQ after the distortion allows for better reshaping of the tone. If placed earlier the distortion will override most of the EQing meaning you have to use more extreme settings to get the desired result and that adds ALOT of noise.

Guitar ---> Tuner ---> Distortion ---> EQ ---> Noise Suppressor ---> Amp

+1

+2

If you later add time-delay effects (delay, chorus, flanger, reverb), put them after the Distortion but before the Noise Supressor.
