So I thought it would be a cool idea to have a thread like this detailing people's finds with specific pedals. It could serve as a guide for making pedal placement easier, by detailing which pedals should go before a buffer.
Anyway, here were my findings:
1. MXR Blue Box-I heard no difference at all-before the buffer, after the buffer.... didn't seem to matter.
2. Blackout Effectors Crystal Dagger-again, worked absolutely fine after the buffered pedal. Sounded exactly the same as it did being placed before the tuner.
3. Death By Audio Soundwave Breakdown-This one definitely needs to be placed before a buffer. When it was after the buffer the pedal was really noisy anytime you stopped playing. It also didn't do the cool oscillation stuff as well, when you roll down the guitar's volume knob at certain settings.
4. Devi Ever Destructo Noctavia-Oscillating fuzz, so not a surprise that it worked better before the buffer. Funnily enough I found that placing this pedal after a buffer had the opposite effect than with the Soundwave Breakdown after the buffer. I feel like part of the Destructo Noctavia's charm is how batshit crazy and noisy it is...That's how it's supposed to be and when it was placed after the buffer it really tamed the pedal.
5. Devi Ever Bit: The Legend Of Fuzz-worked well both before and after, however there was a drastic change in sound on one setting when it was placed after the buffer. With the texture knob up all the way the sound was WAY more crunchy, trebley and high gain when the pedal was placed after the buffer. Otherwise the other settings seemed to sound the same
6. Devi Ever Ok-Works way better before the buffer
7. Devi Ever Noise Floor-I heard no difference with the regular fuzz, however I felt like it worked a little better before the buffer when the noise switch was engaged.
8. Catalinbread Perseus-It totally did not work at all placed after the buffer. The sound cut in and out like crazy, which is interesting because my other suboctave fuzz (Blue Box) didn't seem to care where it was placed.
