All the info in the video is subjective and can vary on a case to case basis. Certain amps will not need or like certain pedal like compression for example is usually not necessary on a small amplifier. ANY order that works for you is great. The above video and Robert Keely's guidelines (below) are simply suggestions by both Keely and myself as general "rules of thumb' to be broken and experimented with by you for your tone and music! Listed below is Robert Keely's article and below that is my own actual CURRENT order of effects by type and brand and name....Have fun and do YOUR thing!
ORDER OF EFFECTS: (By Robert Keely)
"Which Chain Of Effect Pedals Makes Life Easy?
- Wah - Which,
- Compressor - Chain,
- Overdrive - Of,
- EQ - Effect,
- Pitch - Pedals,
- Modulation - Make,
- Level - Life,
- Echo - Easy.
- I like to see wah pedals and sometimes even phasers as the first effect after
the guitar. We'll call these Wah effects (yes even the phaser). Wah pedals boost
a frequency you sweep to with your foot and phasers cut or notch a frequency
that is swept to electronically. Distortion pedals make interesting response
changes to the boost or cut from these sweep pedals.
- Compressors typically go next although I like them after distortion pedals in
many cases if the compressor is clean and transparent enough. Compression
after distortion has two effects that I really like. First, the noise floor is lower
because the noise from a compressor isn't being amplified and distorted by the
overdrive pedal. Second, there appears to be more sustain. There is one draw
back that some people notice and that is a darker, warmer tone. Some folks
might prefer a more conventional, brighter tone.
- Next comes Overdrive or distortion.
- Equalizer pedals can go next. They are commonly used for a boost pedal if they
can be turned on and off, or used to shape the tone of the distortion pedal.
- Pitch changing pedals, Vibrato for example; go next for the simple reason
that many distortion pedals can't handle the many pitches at one time. Try
strumming a complex chord with your distortion pedal on, say a C7#9#11.
- Modulation effects such as chorus and flanging go next.
- Level pedals that control the volume go next in many cases. This would include
tremolo, volume pedals (great at this point in the effects chain because it cuts
all the hiss going to your amp), noise gates and limiters. Since compression is a
limiter in many cases and this is why it works post-distortion by the way.
- Echo effects go last. These include delay and reverb.
- A sample effects board might contain these effects: Guitar - Wah, Compressor,
Overdrive, EQ, Vibrato, Chorus, Tremolo, Volume Pedal, and Delay- Amp.
Note – these “rules” are meant to be broken. Use what sounds best in YOUR rig."
- Robert Keely
