MaFunk Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Hi guys, Could some of you guys perhaps suggest the best way I should be setting up my guitar rig effects wise? I use the following: Blackstar Stage 60 Fender thinline 90s tele MIA Gibson SG standard EP Booster IB tube screamer Boss Ge-7 eq Memory Toy analogue delay The question is more about the loop and which should go in it really... Any help would be much appreciated.. Matt WHAT IS HIP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesape Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 A soon as Jimi and Caev rise from their coffins, I'm sure they'll have great advice! Never a DUH! moment! Well, almost never. OK, OK! Sometimes never! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winston Psmith Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Greetings, MaFunk. You have a few options, depending on what you want to do with your sound, and how you're using the EP Booster and the EQ. The basic rule of thumb is that OD's and other Dynamics effects go in front of your amp, Modulation and Delay effects go in the loop. The first option would be to run EP-TS-EQ-Delay-> Amp. You have the EP Booster on first, to contour your signal, the Tube Screamer for drive, the EQ for tone shaping, and the Delay right before your amp. Works for lots of players. You can also switch things around just a bit, and put the Tube Screamer first, followed by the EQ for tone shaping, then the EP Booster to give a little goose to your signal before it hits the front end of your amp, then have the Memory Toy in the effects loop. The last, just-to-make-you-nuts option is to put the EQ first in line, and use it when switching between guitars, to compensate for the different pickups. Maybe the SG needs a little more bite, and a little less gain, or the Tele needs a little less bite and a little more gain. It's worth experimenting, to get the best sound from both guitars. Hope that helps. "Monsters are real, and Ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win."

Matt gooooooooooooooooot EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEFFFFFFFFFFVVVVVning... the cryptkeeper of the carnival of death has arosen from his dank slumbers to respondeth, and verily so... so...sing along...follow the bouncing axe the guitar bone's connected to the tube screamer bone, the tubescreamer bone's connected to the eq bone the eq bone's connected to the front of the amp bone and the echo's what goes in the loop in the amp. this way, your guitar will directly drive the tube screamer for a nice phat overdrive tone, the eq can shape it...i like a bit of control after a tube screamer. you can sweeten phatten, or sharpen the actual distortion tone, next comes the booster, to pummel the front end into submission, and make everything loud for solos, and also so that one can TURN THE GUITAR VOLUME DOWN WITH SAID BOOSTER ENGAGED WITHOUT THE OVERDRIVE OR EQ TO EXPLORE A WORLD OF AMAZING TONES AT THE FLICK OF THEIR KNOBS...ahem,...sorry, good sacramental this morning....boosters are truly usefull little gadgets.. then use your amp, set it up like this here thread: https://forums.musicplayer.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/2371352/Searchpage/1/Main/163149/Words/musing%2C+amp%2C+master%2C+volume%2C+pink/Search/true/Re_musings_on_amp_tone#Post2371352 damn long link. take the effect send out of the amp to the input of your delay. take the effect output of the delay to the amp's effects return. and there ya have it. add a wah pedal and maybe a fuzz, and you gotta hella versatile little combo to work with. that said..back to my slumbers til the sun goes down to work on my studio tan... mwha hah hah hah hah. seriously good sac ramental today...damn... best of luck mate! i gotta pop over to your part of the planet one of these days, maybe some of the peeps on your forum can help me get my minimoog back to it's former glory. peace http://www.sweetrelief.org/ https://www.wepay.com/donations/memorial-stone-for-juliane-pocius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
