sbrock1san.rr.com Posted August 17, 2001 Share Posted August 17, 2001 I use stompboxes for keyboards and drum machines and I like them a lot. They seem to excel at many things that rackmount effects don't, like overdrive, distortion, flanging, etc. An added plus is that they are easy to use, just turn a few knobs and you have your sound. Sometimes rack effects can be complicated and require a lot of tweaking and brainpower just to get them set up right. I use a Boss CE5 Chorus Ensemble and a Boss SD1 SuperOverdrive pedal the most. Keyboardists in the 70's used stomboxes all the time. Tony Banks of Genesis and Stevie Wonder are two good examples, and needless to say they sounded fantastic. They used effects like the MXR Phase 90, Mutron Bi-Phase, and various fuzz boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Teeth Posted August 18, 2001 Author Share Posted August 18, 2001 Well, What i really wanted to say is between what devices you put a stomp box in the signal chain Rebuilding My Self Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Submersible Posted August 18, 2001 Share Posted August 18, 2001 Ideally, you need to convert the level and impedence from the mixer to match what the stomp box expects to see from a guitar's pickup. After the signal leaves the stomp box, you have to put it back through a direct box to get it into the mixer. Try: http://www.reamp.com/ I believe Buzz Audio's new direct box can do this too, and it's cheaper! I haven't puzzled through how you'd do it, but it has a low-Z in and a hi-Z out. http://www.buzzaudio.co.nz/prodreclive.htm#mia1.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
