Pedal board signal chain question

Re: Pedal board signal chain question

'First' for me is closest to the guitar - that's the way the signal flows.

Guitar -> pedals -> amp

Same here. Or, rather, first is closest to me. From fingers to sound.

I always keep the tuner last, it's a great way of testing your signal chain. If the signal makes it to the tuner then you know that everything from the guitar through all of your pedals is kosher.

I don't keep a tuner on any of my boards these days; too much of a space hog.

He doesn't use a pedal tuner, but that's very close to the rig that my lead player usee. My recommendation would be:

Tuner
Wah
Overdrive
EQ
Gate

That's what a lot of people do for their signal. I kniw other people like to put the wah in different places, so it just depends on if you like before the distortion or after.

I am getting ready to liberate my pedal from the board myself. I find I use the clip on tuner more and more these days.
