How should I be lining up my Effects?

[DARTHWOLFGANG]

The effects I have are as follows:

Boss TU-2,Boss OD-20(distortion modeler),Boss CH-1(chorus),Dunlop Wah pedal,Boss Compression.

This is the order that they are in now,but I can't get the Chorus to work.I also have them daisey-chained together with a singular power source,so no batteries are being used.Can anyone help a brother out?Thanks

GLENN

id go:
tu2-wah-od20-cs2-ch1

the chorus would sound best in the fx loop

does the chorus work by itself?

Jeremy,
Yes it does,but this is the first time I've daisey-chained it.Should I take out the 9 volt battery?The LED on the CH-1 is working,so it's obviously getting power.I'm baffled :smack:

Sounds like Jeremy hit it right on the nose to me. An effects loop is one thing I miss in a DRRI, but am glad they put one in the DeVille. Cuts down on line noise considerably.

Midnite Man,

At the risk of sounding like an idiot,can you explain to me the effect looping procedure?I'm (ironically)playing through a Deville 212 :wink: I'm looking at the top of the amp trying to figure out how to loop the chorus pedal.Do I plug it into the preamp out and power amp in?Sorry if I sound like a complete moron :duh: But Thanks for the help.

i'm not familiar with the deville but if there is an fx loop then, all you need to do is put a cable from the fx loop "send" to the chorus "in" then another cable from chorus"out" to fx loop "return"...
so basically yes your putting the chorus after the pre-amp but before the power stage

Good luck

You might find this link useful: http://users.chariot.net.au/~gmarts/fx.htm

If you scroll down a little, there's a link to a section on the order for effects. These aren't hard & fast rules, just a good starting point for experimentation.
