So since my previous thread got hijacked by the folks who wanna DIY a pedaltrain type thing, I thought I'd start a new one....

Here's the first pic of the first attempt at ordering my pedals on the Pedaltrain:




So of course I have some of my own ideas, but I'd also like to hear some of yours!

My thoughts on pedal order in terms of signal route is this:

1 - Polytune
2 - Wah (535Q)
3 - DD20 as a pre-distortion delay
4 - MXR Dynacomp clone [under construction]
5 - MXR Phase 90 clone [under construction]
6 - EHX Small Clone Chorus clone [under construction]
7 - Overdrive (that Rocktek is soon to be replaced by a TS808 clone [under construction])
8 - Hardwire Reverb
9 - Behringer Digital Delay 600 as post-distortion delay


Main things I am not sure of is the order of no 4 to 6. Also, I feel pretty sure about the positions for the DD20 and DD600, but perhaps someone thinks it is better to swop them...?

Pedal arrangement on the Pedaltrain, I was thinking I like the wah on the righthand side and then the pedals I will be switching most in front and the rest on the second row.....

Please give any comments and suggestions!

    Well, in short I am not a fan of pre overdrive delay... It changes my overdrive and then colours my tone too much. My dd20 is last in my chain.
      I'm pretty much of the same opinion. Usually it just mushes things up. The only time I'll use a pre-drive delay is if I'm splitting into stereo to go into two different overdrives.
        Just remove the behringer from the chain....... Its gonna screw up your nice tone wether its pre or post drive......
        The dd20 should cover all delay needs.
        Wah---- Drive------- Delay------ reverb......
        Pretty big board for so few pedals, so maybe some more purchases should be in order ?

          +1 ? Vick has a VERY nice overdrive for sale, BUY it, and replace that rocktron overdrive with it.. Instantly awesome tone! ?
            OK, so the tribe has spoken, Behringer, bring me your torch....

            I'll put the Dd20 at the end of the chain as suggested.

            As for drive, you will see in my first post that the rocktek is just temporary (space planning), I have a TS808 and Fulltone OCD coming in.

              Thought this was a public forum?
                Have to agree with the comments on the DD20 and Beringer. You may also want to move the chorus after the overdrives in the chain. It sounds different to having it before the drives - check it out and decide for yourself. Regarding your question in terms of the compressor I prefer mine early in the chain (as you also propose to have yours) actually immediately after my tuner (which is first).
