Hi guys (I'm new)
I would just like to ask you guys advise on effect chain order. In my pedal case I have the following pedals: Line6 M9(I want utalise all the efects), Boss GE-7(use as a boost), Boss DD7(use fore odd delays ect), Boss NS2(take away hum) and Boss FV-500L( expression pedal for m9). I would like to use the M9 as the "heart" of my sound and the others as extra effects. My M9 always has a compressor on first followed by a dist and the a delay, my problem is I don't know where to put the GE-7 as it can either go before the M9 or after.(can a EQ go before a compressor?) The NS2 has a send and return so I was wondering weather i should put the M9 their and the other pedals on the output signal of the NS2. I've heard though that if you put the M9 in the effects loop of the NS2, the delays won't sound good. Is this true.
Any suggestions on effect placement
thanx
guys

It would be silly to not try to put delays in the NS loop because people say it sounds bad - give it a try first with just your DD7 and the NS2. I can imagine the NS taking out the weaker repeats if the suppression is set too high, but other than that I dunno why it wouldn't work.
You are probably better off trying just the M9 first. See the other effects as heavy, bulky, expensive extras that you only add if necessary - a pedalboard is not something you *must* fill. Only if you don't come right with the M9 delays, add the DD7. Only if the eq on your M9 falls short, try the GE7. Only if you get too much noise, use the NS2.
