I am completely new to the world of pedalboards and I have just purchased a Pedaltrain Classic 2 board and Truetone CS7 in order to finally regroup all of my pedals together. I was wondering about the order in which to place my pedals and if a Truetone CS 7 would be sufficient to power all of my pedals without incurring any additionnal noise. I have currently 8 pedals that require an adapter but only 7 outlets on my CS7. I still have the possibility of returning my CS7 and getting a CS12. Any help would be appreciated.

Do you mind telling us about the amp please?

Specifically do you have effects loop(s)?

If you have a loop, I'd put the time based effects in that (delay and chorus).

As for the pedals between the guitar output and the amp, I would put the wah first, then the OCD, then the Full drive 2, then the fuzz.

For the tuner, if the wah doesn't have a tuner out, one way to do it is to add an A/B box, send one side to the tuner and the other side to your pedals.

Sorry, I don't know much about loopers.



Good luck.

I have a Deluxe Reverb '65 reissue but would also like to use my pedals with my Vox AC10.

While the supply itself is likely protected against exporting spikes on the power line, and probably isolates each output, it is generally unwise to have two or more pedals with internal clocks sharing the same power line. So, all your Fulltone pedals can share a single daisychained PS output, you should run the looper, chorus, and delay from separate outputs of your powerbrick.

As for pedal order, all is fair in love, war, and rock, and interesting sounds can be gotten with unusual pedal combinations and orders (e.g., delay into drive). That said, "traditional" order would put tuner first, then wah, then drive pedals, chorus, delay, then looper. As for drive pedals, think about gain-staging and stacking drives.

So I could technically put my Full-Drive 2 and Fuzz 69 on a daisy chain and plug my OCD separately in the 18V jack.

The Fulltone Clyde Standard Wah doesn't have an tuner out.

So something along these lines with the 3 Fuzz/Distorsion/Drive Fulltone pedals on a daisy chain or where the OCD would be run separately on the 18v?

I forget, the Fuzz 69's power is reverse polarity.

I went ahead and returned the CS7 and ordered the CS12 to allow for more outputs, including 2X 18v. I did not like the fact that I had to run daisy chains. As well, I want to be able to expand a bit more and make room for another pedal or two down the road.

Well, here she is. Just waiting on a Fulltone Fast-Boost 3 and the board is pretty much complete. I ended up going with a Truetone 1spot CS12 which was a wise decision since my OCD and FD2 are each plugged in to an 18v outlet.
