  • Effects order is essential in getting the sound you want out of loopers and sustain pedals. Now that the TC Electronic INFINITE is hitting shelves and pedalboards all over, one of the questions that keeps being asked is where to put it on the signal chain. Let's explore, shall we?

    Dead last in effects loop, with buffered bypass on… without question. If you want you could actually get a pedal order switcher and be able to witch back and forth between loop first / infinite first.

    This is exactly my problem ( I guess for many other people too). I would like to put the Infinite at the end of the chain, but before the looper. (No issues with my looper since the DITTOX4 can record and store 2 different loops). Unfortunately, Infinite is a MONO pedal and my chain becomes stereo after Synesthesia, and this is followed by 7 other stereo pedals (delays, synths, reverbs, etc.). So I am stuck placing Infinite before Synesthesia and so it will be affected by everything that comes after it. I think TCE has missed a big point here. This device is eminently ambient-oriented and most ambient boards run stereo delay and reverbs. I still preordered out of curiosity (using your Thomann link). Thanks for this video, BTW. Cheers. /C

    Excellent! I ordered the pedal just yesterday. Your video is very helpful and answers one of my main questions: where to put it in the signal chain. I first thought I will put it at the beginning of the chain, but after watching your video I tend to put it at the end just before the Looper. Thanks for the video! Well worth buying you a coffee!

    Dude! Ok that was actually pretty cool. It somewhat begs a good demo of shoving more stuff into the loop. The idea of mixing and mashing effects per layer may be an idea? Using this to feed a looper in the chain also a great idea 💡 but what about splitting the X5 into two and running loopers around ? Ugggh makes my head spin a bit the possibilities and here midi and an hxstomp would actually lend a lot.
    Maybe not for video as this is complicated as hell to visualize.

    Thanks ! I already have one Infinite. And I will still be waiting for Infinite to be included in the Plethora. It will be fun. Infinite at the beginning of the chain and the possibility of including it in Plethora later :)

    I’m using the infinite in the send return loop of the plethora x5 and running the plethora through the send return of my amp. What are your thoughts?

  • @DanielBobke
    @DanielBobke 5 місяців тому

    I have a question about a noise gate in the chain before the Infinite pedal (and my looper for that matter). I have a TC Electronics Sentry noise gate in my chain using the 4 cable method (it has a send/return on the pedal as well as input/output) so I have the pedal in the chain going into the front of the amp as well as in the FX loop with my time-based effects. This works great for dealing with the noise introduced with some of my high-gain distortion pedals as well as reducing noise in the amp from the preamp stage (kind of like having a gate knob on the amp itself). ?However, the gate also seems to be killing the signal to the Infinite pedal and the looper unless there is signal going through the chain constantly. It is clearly recording the part I want recorded or sustained, but it cuts off as soon as I stop playing anything on the guitar. I am not clear as to why this is happening...any ideas? Any thoughts on how to use these pedals with a gate in the chain?

    I'm running mine at the end before a clone looper. In the loop on the Infinite, I put a Boss ME-80 with expression controlling overdrive. When you add Uni-vibe, delay, and or ring mod it becomes a knob tweaker instrument.

      I did something similar with my EHX Superego. Joyo Vision dual multi-modulation pedal & an old Korg multi-FX with inbuilt expression pedal/wah/volume pedal. Not great units on their own (the Joyo has its charms) but aces in the loop of the Superego and/or my old JHS Panther delay, the big one based on the Diamond Memory Lane.
      I am looking at the TC to replace my Superego.
