Unless you want to run it after a filter to even out the spikes (looking at you FX-25).

I always put my tuner last which drives some people up the wall.

What happens when I have two compressors? Andy! Also disappointed he didn't go into parallel paths, passive ring modulation, direct input, stereo, and feedback loops.

When are these articles going to become vignettes about how Johnny Depp discovered Mu-Tron while backpacking in the Rockies...and how AARP helped his band get a show. You don't know AARP.

I need help from the deepest darkest place in Portland to the frozen sonic tundra of Akron.

(Andy is cool as a player and I like his videos, but I don't need to hear about a "foundation overdrive" and stuff like that and how it will bring out the character of the thorpy warhead. Dirty little secret must be a high margin item for PGS).

The videos have much more value than that Tone Report Magazine. I do kind of find it funny when a magazine made specifically to sell items from PGS sweet heart deals drops a Sonic Crayon into their list of the month article....

On that note, I experimented:

Tuner has no place...it gets used once per day. Reverb goes on reverb so it can go on someone else's chain. Fuzz/distortion everywhere else. Tis proper. Delay only in internet videos or fed back into itself to annoy neighbors or make miku talk because I have no real life friends and a wife that works 12-15 hours a day.

Really, attitude-> guitar->dirt-> ring mod-> amp

Brought to you by CB Dirty Little Secret...keep ahead of the other bands with you own.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH I never thought of that! You are a genius! Wonder if that'd work the same for evening out other modulation spikes.

Yeah dude. Distortion and OD and other more fun sorts of compression will also do that (which is part of the reason why you need to experiment with order :) )

It's less banal than the average Tone Report article, which is an achievement.

Where the same six guys tell you what's on sale and how much they've never tried anything except what PGS stocks and wants to get rid of fast.

These articles would have been helpful to me when I was 14, so hopefully they're still of use to 14-year old guitarists if 14-year-olds are still playing guitar, and if they want to read articles that are covert advertisements.
