Where should I put my tuner in my pedal chain?

The tuner pedal should go first in the effect signal chain. This is to allow the cleanest signal into the pedal for viewing the most accurate tuning pitch. Positioning the tuner pedal after other effects (distortion, modulation, EQ pedals, etc) can distort the notes in the signal affecting pitch accuracy.

How do you set a chorus pedal?

Where to Place a Chorus Pedal In Your Effect Chain. Chorus is a modulation effect, and as such, it should be placed fairly late in your pedal chain. It should come after a wah pedal, compression pedal, overdrive pedal, and distortion pedal, but before your delay pedal, tremolo pedal, or reverb pedal.

What order do pedals go on a pedalboard?

I tend to connect any distortion devices and high-gain pedals first in line, and the lower-gain pedals later. I have found that the higher-gain devices control sustain, and the lower-gain devices control the tone if they are connected in this order. Modulation devices can come next.

What goes first chorus or distortion?

Just like filter pedals, you will get the most out of a synth pedal when it’s placed early in your signal chain. This is to ensure that the rawest amount of signal is being fed into the pedal’s input, giving it the best chance to process that signal for ultimately the best and most genuine tone it can achieve.

Does guitar pedal order matter?

The order of your pedals matter The order in which the pedals are set up matter because the signal is being processed multiple times if you have multiple pedals. A general rule of thumb is to first set your distortion and drive pedals first, followed by your modulation pedals like echo, chorus, flanger, tremolo, etc.

Where should a wah pedal go?

Dynamics (compressors), filters (wah), pitch shifters, and Volume pedals typically go at the beginning of the signal chain. Gain based effects such as and overdrive/distortion pedals come next. Modulation effects such as chorus, flangers, phasers typically come next in the chain.

Where should a boost pedal go?
