Pedal Configuration

[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Guitarist Discussion Forum ]

Posted by Gil Delaney (from: ) on December 30, 2004 at 11:58:01:

I've got a Fulltone wah, Mutron III, Carl Martin Comp, Boss Sustain/Comp, TC Electronics Chorus, EH Holier Grail reverb, Ernie Ball Volume Pedal, Boss Tremlo, Fender Tuner, Boss DA20 Delay w/Tap, Boss Loop Station, Voodoo Lab Pedal Power, Voodoo Lab Sparkle Drive and 2 (two loop)looopers. (4 channels of looper)

All the above pedals are being used with a Fender Prosonic tube amp with a mono effects loop.

Currently - I have the Fultone wah and the mutron III on loooper channel 1 going into the front of the amp. Looper channel two has the compressors to the sparkle drive then to the front of the amp.

Loooper channel 3 has the tremlo going into the amps effects loop and loooper channel 4 has the delay, chorus, Reverb, volume pedal, and loop station all going into the effects loop of the amp.

Problem, I'm getting some unwanted distortion when my volume pedal is not fully engaged. I first put it in line with delay/reverb stuff going to the amps loop, then I tried it in front of the amp. No change. It's an ernie ball, and I like the pedal because it has a tuner out that can be used when the pedal is in silent mode. I may need to find a better sounding volume pedal, but I'm thinking this is a signal/impedence problem since the pedal sounds great fully engaged. Anyone out there have the wisdom to solve this one?

I would love to hear any knowledgable opinion on how to configure these pedals for a tube amp/effects loop in general. Remember, some pedals go in the front of the amp while other are being used in the amps effects loop.

If you are not familiar with the looopers, they are simple effects loops with true bypass designed to help you limit how many pedals you must put in a single signal path. With the looopers I can group pedals into sub groups allowing me to add a group of pedals to the signal path with one tap of a switch. If I am not using delay/reverb/chorus I can disengage that loop with a simple footswitch. This removes that group of pedals from the signal path completely keeping signal integrity as high as possible with true bypass.

HELP ME!
