Preferred Pedalboard Arrangement...

[NihilistNixon]

I've been told various ways to set-up pedalboards (tuner>distortion/fuzz>pitchshifters>delay>yadayadayada), and I'm not sure which way is the best way. So what order do you people find more effective when setting up pedals?

Tuner>Fuzz>Fuzz>Fuzz>Reverb

I've often found myself liking a boost and a reverb both before and after fuzz.

Right now my board is set up: Volume-> Fuzz->Fuzz->Buffer->Boost->Delay->Verb

[foomanfat]

My board is set up, now, as distortion>fuzz>fuzz>volume>chorus>tuner>delay>reverb.
I keep the tuner mid-chain so the buffer doesn't muck about with the fuzz.

I'm thinking about adding a slapback delay at the beginning.

The best way is to mess around with the pedal order until you've found a combination that you're most happy with.

Mine goes boost>distortion>NOISE(which is Clari(not)>2525>M9>Boss PS-5 all in a chk chk boom)>tuner.

Why do people not put tuners at the end? Then you can use them as a whole-board mute.

For all other pedals, commutative property applies.

never once hit my mind, actually... now I think I'll give it a shot!

for me, it's tuner>fuzz>od>boost>feedbackloop(whatever pedals I feel like)>delay>reverb

THIS! I've never understood the preference for tuner first. Plus, my TU-3's buffer could fuck with fuzzes.

I think the theory is that the closer the tuner is to your guitar, the more accurate the reading.

You sir, seem to be a genius.lol

Right.

In my experience, anything shifting pitch or doing any octave work tracks much better at the beginning of a chain.

Pfft, Gated fuzz -> Octave for life.

Not to hijack this already hijacked thread, but does anyone make an octave pedal where you can adjust the accuracy of tracking?

I dont think so. There arent that many octave pedals from what I've seen. I just have my eyes on the Boss Octave
