| Question: How should I set up my pedal board? Posted: 18 Aug 2016 04:35 AM PDT You don't want ALL of your pedals through the effects loop. The loop is essentially best used for modulation effects, sometimes boost or OD can be thrown in, but typically they're not put there. You're going to have to play around with this, but a general rule of thumb is that you'll want delay's and reverb last in the chain, if they're in the loop or in front. In front of your amp, you'll want to experiment. That tuner is very noisy and a high-end tone sucker. I recommend getting a True Bypass loop pedal. I've had some from Road Rage pedals, but there are tons of other companies, including DIY pedals that all work well. It's a very inexpensive, simple pedal that is designed to take something like this out of your loop when you're not using it, so that the pedal doesn't affect your overall tone negatively by sucking up some of the power going through your signal. The Wah is also similar. If it's not true bypass it can be a tone sucker when not in use. If you have a 2 loop pedal built from Road Rage or one that is a 1 loop pedal with a tuner output, you'll be golden... however, I really suggest either modifying yourself or sending in the wah to get modified to true bypass. I noticed a HUGE difference in my tone after doing both these things to my boards. So do all of your pedals need to be true bypass or thrown in a bypass looper? No, just the known tone suckers or super noisy pedals and those 2 pedals are widely known as tone suckers. Get them out of your chain when not in use. The tuner is always first in your chain. Wah and volume pedals are usually second. Mostly because they are bulky and you want them to the side of your board for ease of use, but also because you don't want gain pedals to overload them. I would experiment with the TS9 and Equalizer, but I typically see the EQ before the gain pedals. This is because you want to use your EQ as an overall tone shaping tool. If you have a gain pedal before the EQ, then the Gain will overload the EQ and could change up your tone. Put the TS9 after and your EQ affects the gain pedals and will be easier to keep a constant tone throughout your song if you're turning the TS9 off. Now, if you're using your EQ as a boost for certain sections of a song or different songs, then placement will be your preference. Just know that the one set first in line, will affect the pedal(s) setup after it. Last will be the Nosie Suppressor. I actually hate that one and exclusively use ISP Decimators. The older ones are still great and can be found relatively cheap on eBay. They are simple to use, don't cutoff your signal quite as much and they DO NOT color your tone at all like the Boss ns2. Placement is up to you here. Usually before any modulation effects though, especially delay's and reverbs. You don't want the tail ends of repeats or echo to be cutoff from a noise suppressor. However, you can place them before all your other pedals or after. It all depends on where you're getting your noise coming in at. For me, it's usually placed after my gain pedals because when I run a lot of gain through my amp. Whether or not you place this in your loop or in front of the amp depends on where you get your noise from. You don't need to use your effects loop either, if you're getting noise from both sections. You can get an ISP Decimator that has 2 connections, 1 for the effects loop and another for in front of your amp. As you start adding more and more pedals to your rig, just remember to place the modulation pedals, like flanger tremolo and chorus after your gain pedals and before delay and reverb. However, it's all subjective. I run 2 delay pedals. I have a boost before one delay to actually boost the repeats to give me a cool sound, but also a delay after the boost to give me the traditional ambient effects. Also experiment with placing boosts or fuzzes before and after your TS9. They will affect each other differently from placement. I also like using a simple boost pedal on tube amps to help saturate the power tubes a little easier. I leave the boost on at all times, so for this, I generally have it either right before the EQ or right after... it gets left on pretty much the entire show. |
| Question: Is this drum good for kids to use? Posted: 18 Aug 2016 01:40 AM PDT I suggest you buy him a drum pad. For one thing, it's a lot cheaper, soundless (it's made from material) and actually a good way to learn basic rhythm and techniques, without annoying any neighbours. A drum tutor I know, has all his students learn on the pad for the first term of lessons, after which, if they are still keen, they graduate to a small drum kit. It's also a saving if you find he loses interest before long. Rather than forking out untold for a decent set.
