I personally have my MXR Phase 90 before my distortion pedals, where do you put yours? I am kinda thinking about switching it up for a while!

Re: Phasor: Before or after distortion?
Pretty much every pedal board order recommendation is this: guitar->wah/volume->distortion->modulation->delay/reverb
I am just wondering why they all recommend modulation after distortion?"My biggest fear is that when I die my wife will sell my guitars for what I told her they cost" -Anonymous

Re: Phasor: Before or after distortion?
Anything using a filter sweep has a lot more oomph after. That can be either too much or too little depending on your tasteOriginally posted by Bad City

Re: Phasor: Before or after distortion?
before works amazing for van halen-esque tones, the only thing is, the gain gets really muddy when I use it with my amp gain, but when I use it with the be-od it is clean and tight, still don't understand why."My biggest fear is that when I die my wife will sell my guitars for what I told her they cost" -Anonymous

Re: Phasor: Before or after distortion?
I always used my phaser in the FX loop. Never tried it before amp. But I only use it for the "dramatism". Think intro to Slipknot's Devil In I.Last edited by BleedingFingertips; 01-05-2018, 08:43 AM.

Re: Phasor: Before or after distortion?
And as always - put it wherever you like it best. No harm in trying it each place!
I have used Flangers before and after - depending on my goal and the Flanger....YMMV - I say "M" but really it is "will" vary.Originally posted by Bad City

Re: Phasor: Before or after distortion?
Adrian Belew is the king of dancing on pedals.... He has put multiple pedals before and after distortion to achieve his many textures and sounds. He even approached his Roland guitar synth as just another crazy ass pedal.
That said, you should experiment.... Find ALL the sounds, dispense the ones you don't want, keep the ones you do. Learn the rules to break the rules. Break the rules to remake the rules. Have a flanger before AND after distortion... Keep an open mind and listen well.aka Chris Pile, formerly of Six String Fever
