So I just scored an Ibanez Tube Screamer for $20. I've never owned an OD and was wondering where exactly do you put it in your effects chain? Any tips on how to use it or is it just basically a lighter distortion?
I've found for this that it sometimes depended on what the distortion pedal was. Some I have used like the tubescreamer before and some sounded better with it after. The best thing to do is to play play play around with the setup. Remember there is no one right or wrong way to place your pedals. If it gives you the sound YOU want and like then it's in the right place!Ok cool thanks. What if I wanted to use it as a boost for a 2nd stage heavy distortion? Put it before my high gain pedal?
I was gonna start a thread about this, too. I have never used an effects loop in an amp, but since I have a new amp and am shelving my DG-Stomp for a while, I wanted to ask how to chain up all my stompboxes. I've always just run them (in roughly that same order) into the front end of my amp, but somebody else besides you also suggested doing the modulation FX in the loop, so would modulation FX include flange, phase, chorus and delay, and should I run them in the loop and the rest in the front end? Should make for a bit of an interesting wiring setup, but what the hey? If it's best, I'll try it. Anybody?I've always went: Guitar --> Tuner --> Wah --> Overdrive --> Distortion --> Modulation (sometimes I put these in the effects loop) -- Amp.
It's all preference but definetly give it a try, it gives you a totally different sound... especially delay.I was gonna start a thread about this, too.
