ayan na. wooo!!! nahirapan ako mag explain. 

hay nako. lol

[gjuanengo]

I'll link this to my analog 101. hahaha.

My chain:

Dunlop Wylde Wah->MXR Distortion+->Keeley MT2->Boston EQ->Behringer Tremolo->Dano Phaser->Dano Chorus.

Soon ill be adding an a/b box to switch between tuning and signal.

Thanks Emil.

[legato]

Mine is

Guitar --> PH2 -> SD1/SD2 -> GE7 --> Tech21 10 Watt Practice Amp
Effects Loop --> CH1 --> BF2 --> DD3

For me the PH2 sounds a bit better upfront rather than in the effects loop.
For clean tones I like the SD1 better than the SD2. For heavier stuff, minsan SD2, minsan naman SD1.
Medyo temperamental setup ko o di kaya iba lang gising ko.

When I do get the chance to play though it's really just

Guitar --> SD1/SD2 --> Tech21 Amp

Or kung na ka on yun tv

Guitar --> SD1/SD2 --> GE-7 Tech21 Amp

 

[plugzzzz]

tamad setup

guitar -> vox tonelab SE -> amp

kalokohan setup

guitar -> rc booster > trimode -> tube driver -> tube driver with bias-> pedaltone -> amp

fx loop sa pedaltone -> boss pw10 -> dano fab chorus -> mxr 6 band EQ -> dd6 ->

both setup masaya hehehe

made something like that before:

[pao2pao16]

my setup through time

1) guitar > Zoom 707II > amp

           sold my Zoom
www.pedallion.com music online store philippines
2) guitar > Line 6 DM4 > amp
3) guitar > Vox v847 > Boss AC-2 > Line 6 DM4 > EHX Small Clone > amp
4) guitar > Vox v847 > Boss AC-2 > Line 6 DM4 > Sansanp gt-2 > EHX Small Clone > amp

           sold my line6 traded with Digitech Metal Master + cash then bought a boston delay            afterwards

5) guitar > Vox v847 > Boss AC-2 > Digitech Metal Master > Sansamp gt-2 > EHX Small Clone > Boston Delay > amp

            Sold my Boss AC-2 to buy a CS-3. slightly regretted doing this cause i love the clean tone of the AC-2 even it cant 100% simulates an acoustic.
           
            Bought a morley volume pedal

6) guitar > Vox v847> Volume Pedal > Boss CS-3 > Digitech Metal Master > Sansamp GT-2 > EHX Small Clone > Boston Delay > amp

With this setup, i put my volume pedal after the wah, before the dist. now the result? like a volume knob of the guitar. it doesnt lower the volume of the dist. obviously its before the dist. i was looking for an violin effect. like the in the song glasgow kiss of JP at 3:06 time track. so i put the volume after the dist and chorus but before the delay, of course. you dont want to cut the delay.
 
           Sold my Digitech Metal Master
           Sold my volume pedal. i didnt actually need it at that time.

7) guitar > Vox v847 >  Boss CS-3 > Sansamp > EHX Small Clone > Boston Delay

             Bought a Bad Monkey to boost my sansamp

8 ) guitar > Vox v847 >  Boss CS-3 > Bad Monkey > Sansamp > EHX Small Clone > Boston Delay >amp

                 Bought an NS-2 cause my rig was starting to get really annoyingly noisy. CS-3+BM+Sansamp is a godly tone but noisy

9 ) guitar > Vox v847 >  Boss CS-3 > Bad Monkey > Sansamp > Boss NS-2 > EHX Small Clone > Boston Delay > amp

NOW!! now heres my problem. i was kinda noob with the ns2. as you may notice that i put it after the compressor, od, dist. the ns2 cant cut the noise. it also eats my tone and the volume. i started to dislike the ns-2. so i messed around with the 4 peds. actually just did  it a couple of hours ago. put the ns2 before the compressor. and my problem was solved. but my sustain was horrible. the ns2 cuts it immediately. only because the threshold was turned all the way up. so i adjusted it and voila. perfect.

now the cs-3  supposedly should balance your low and high. i notice when i turn the sansamp and BM on with the compressor, i didnt notice any difference except adding sustain. so i tried to put it after the dist and od. then there you go. it balances my dirt. i finally found my tone.

Rhythm then solo. a moment where the solo should be louder than your rhythm tone. how did i solve this problem? simply turning the level of the cs-3 up until desired. now i have a balance and loud lead tone.

MY SETUP:
guitar > Boss NS-2 > Vox v847 >  Bad Monkey > Sansamp > Boss CS-3 > EHX Small Clone > Boston Delay > amp

advice and objections are much appreciated.

AAAAAAAHHHH yang Ground Control Pro at GCX Audio Switcher ang trip ko ngayon e!

Check this out: http://www.soundsculpture.com/products/switchblade.htm - mas flexible ang routing capabilities nya kaysa GCX. With the GCX, the routing goes from loop 1 to 8 and you cannot swap the order without actually moving the pedal into another loop.

what do you mean the routing goes from loop 1 through 8? i've been using the GCX and a similar bradshaw unit for years and the way I use it is as follows:
if your songs require particular pedals to do a part then the GCX may be arranged based on that which is what I do. like, say, your song uses a clean signal and then does some phrases with a flange or a chorus with a touch of boost, you can program a loop into your GC that calls up flange + chorus + boost and step on a patch that calls up specific pedals (or loops if your pedals are arranged 1 pedal/ loop) to produce your sound. the key to this setup is you need to dial yoursetup sounds before shoving the pedals in the rack because the idea is a set-and-forget approach to gigging. it can be annoying to change settings on the fly even with your pedals on a sliding rack tray. i didn't want to accidentally trigger new sounds by nudging a knob the wrong way on a gig so I got the GCX. currently, my patches are divided into clean + chorus, clean + slow delay + chorus, clean + echo, overdrive + short delay. depending on what a song might need, i will alter the patches and add/ remove pedals to taste. the setup works well and gets the job done.

Custom Audio Electronics can also do the same thing and custom route your switcher to your specs. My GCX used to control a couple of rack pieces (a TC Electronics D-Two rack delay and an Eventide Harmonizer) but those have since been taken out and replaced with analog style pedals (the Memory Lane and the TC Delay pedal) so if you wanna do that you can go for it equally well.

there are a lot of companies now that make switchers after stuff Bob Bradshaw originally designed so you have a lot to choose from. just make sure to ask the companies what their products do and what the limitations are so you can make an intelligent purchase. good luck!

what do you mean the routing goes from loop 1 through 8?

Ah.. let me elaborate.

The GCX has eight individual loops, two rows of four loops each. When a loop is on, the signal is routed to its 'send', when it is off, the signal is routed to its 'out'. Because each loop is independent of the next, a patch cable is needed to feed the signal from one loop's 'out' to the next loop's 'in'. While it isn't necessary to use succeeding loops, doing so makes wiring a little simpler. For example, lets just say that we are using the first four loops for four different efx pedals. The routing will go like:

guitar > loop 1 in > loop 1 send > efx pdl. 1 in > efx pdl. 1 out > loop 1 return > loop 1 out > patch cable >  loop 2 in > loop 2 send > efx pdl. 2 in > efx pdl. 2 out > loop 2 return > loop 2 out > patch cable > loop 3 in, etc.> loop 4 in etc,. > amp/preamp in.

With that, you can have any of the four loops on or off at any time. You can have loop 1 on and the rest off, or you can have 1 off, 2 on, 3 off, 4 on; etc. etc. In this example, loop 1 will always be before loop 2, which will always be before loop 3, which will always be before loop 4. If you wanted to change the order of your efx, lets say you wanted efx. 2 to be first, you'll have to unplug it from loop 2 and plug it into loop 1. The GCX does not have the capability to change the order of your efx, you will have to do it manually.

OTOH, the switchblade can be programed to route your signal in any order regardless of which loop an efx is occupying, IOW, the signal routing does not have to follow the order of the loops. You can have your modulation before your delay and switch it around, delay before modulation, on the fly. Etc.

oh, if arrangement is what you want then the GCX isn't going to suit that use. i don't think it was designed to do that in the first place. arrangement of effects was exactly something I wanted to avoid which is why the GCX worked for my purpose. i wanted a simplified version of what was on my pedalboard without having to tapdance all over the floor. all i wanted to do during gigs was step on a patch and call up the combination of the pedals that I would normally step on in pairs or in succession to achieve the sound I needed.

there is also something else I want to share about the GCX which might be useful to some - the sound you get out of your amp is very much dependent on the order of your effects because, really, the GCX is a simplified version of a pedalboard setup. so as long as you are fine with the sound and order of your pedals and want to just consolidate your effects and minimize stepping on pedals, then the GCX might work for that purpose. re-arranging the order of pedals is not possible but this wasn't meant to be done as part of its design.
