@@RushOrbit if you put delay at the end it adds delay to the reverb and I don’t think it sounds as clear as adding reverb to delay. I haven’t tested though I’ve just watched other videos on it.
@HenryWotton99 I agree with you except for 3 instances: 1. Looper I normally put last. 2. Delay put last if it has a looper on it. 3. Stereo - when a stereo output is desired one may use whatever stereo pedal they have. Be it Reverb, Delay, Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, or whatever.
Nice setup! It's also very clean, no fuzz bunnies, dog hair, cigarette smoke, spilled beer, or whatever else funk gets on there from playing on gross stages. I'm sure it'll get there 😂
Your mood has a killer reverb and delay so yknow. I have the second gen mood and it’s super versatile. I can get some real fun classic sounds and the trippy lofi ambiance just by twisting a knob and flicking a switch. I Stan mood.
Delay before reverb… of course there are no rules that are set in stone, but this is a very good “rule of thumb”. The question is, do you want your delays to reverberate in the same space as the primary signal, or do you really want to have your reverb repeat itself based on your delay settings? I would offer that the former is much more natural sounding and pleasing to the ear, while the latter is much more apt to produce a chaotic, washed out sound. If that’s what you were going for, fair enough… the setting you have dialed in on that Mood pedal may be a clue, lol I get it that you may not actually be using them ever at the same time, but if you aren’t you should… Delay into Reverb can sound pretty damn epic
Agreed, just had it there because I had just got the pedal and wanted to mess around with it and had removed my looper because i used it the least of all them. I wouldnt normally do that!
@@pecklehead I beg to differ, but you are, of course, welcome to your own opinion. The traditional approach is delay in front of reverb, for exactly the reasons I outlined in my initial comment… However, as I also said, everyone is free to do whatever they please. There’s no such thing as the “effects pedal order police”, so if it suits your personal taste or specific need/desired result, knock yourself out.
For me, placement of the pedals can change depending on the values or parameters of the pedal I require. For example I can put a delay before everything IF that delay is set below a certain threshold that would wash out the sound. You might be surprised if you break the "rules" once in a while.
@@patrickkoenigsfeld1253 not sure if your comment was meant for me or not, but i plainly said "of course there are no rules", and later went on to say that you are free to do as you please because there are no "effects pedal order police", so it's down to personal taste or specific need.
If you don't want to spend an arm and a leg on the Dookie Drive, the MXR FOD pedal is the exact same circuit except there is a 3 way toggle for mid boost, mid cut, and flat.
Having the MXR Analog Chorus with the EQ knobs straight up is EQing half of your chorus sound out. Those knobs are cut only so flat EQ is with the knobs clear to the right. Of course, if you're shooting for a subtle chorus sound, having the eq knobs at noon will help achieve that. Interestingly, the Timmy has the same style cut only EQ knobs. You've picked good pedals here.
I own this pedal too, and you are correct. 12:00 is actually a cut for some reason, and full clockwise is full. I've also had people complaining about how that pedal is a tone sucker, but I haven't noticed anything drastic.
yea i really like the hall of fame reverb the church setting mixed with the mash switch is really fun to play around with and really useful for ambient type music
Your TC tuner has a buffer built into it, which is great to put at the beginning of your chain. TC also sells stand alone buffer pedal you could put at the end of your chain ~$70. Most pro pedal rigs I've seen place Fuzz pedals before everything in the chain, even before buffers or compressors. You do you, but try it out and see if that improves things.
Especially if it is a Fuzz Face type of Fuzz (2 transistors). I find it doesn't really matter with Muff style Fuzzes (4 transistors). Tone Bender types (3 transistors) can go either way. You need to try 'em both ways and go with what works best with your rig. That has been my experience, anyway.
I love your selections! I’ve been eyeing that Empress Compressor for a while, though I’m also really happy with my Keeley Compressor Pro. Both have a visual dB reducer meter (awesome), but I like the smaller form factor of the Empress.
@@dylan5784 That is the V2. It's the new version (2020 I think) of the Empress Compressor. I have the V1 Empress Compressor. They are blue and the enclosures are horizontal with jacks on the sides. I like the looks of the V1 more than the V2. However, the top-mounted jacks of the V2 are so much more practical and it is a more efficient use of space. Internally and electrically they are the same. Fantastic! I also like the indicators. The only Compressor that sounds better is the Origin Effects Cali '76, but they are way more expensive! The Empress isn't cheap, but it's a bargain considering the quality.
If you didnt know, run all your pedals through you fx in on you amp, leave the over drive pedal out and go from guitar to over drive to amp. Let the effects IN RUN SEPARATE. You dont lose any tone this way. Its awesome
@jorbv8 The original size 4 knob Hall of Fame Reverb pedals, both V1 & V2 have stereo outputs, and so does the 2 × 4. I use the two that I have on separate rigs. The 2×4 is used in a stereo multi-amp rig. The V1 I am using with a stereo amp that has built-in chorus. Do you have either one of those versions, or is it the HOF MINI?
@@TheRealcdawg22 awesome... I have an original HOF with stereo input and output jacks. I'm going to try out a two amp set up today, pretty excited tbh🤘
@@jorbv8 I may have misunderstood what you said earlier. I was not trying to over-explain things. Yeah, it sounds great in stereo, especially in the FX LOOPs or running the 2nd amp clean. 🤘
I have the empress compressor also (same model and color). And its my favorite compressor ever. I build most of my gear (guitars, pedals even my tube amps) but the Empress comp mkii is just so good i didn't feel like I could beat it. Its input and output pots got scratchy/dirty a couple years ago so i contacted the guys over at Empress and they offered to ship it to them in Canada at their cost and repair it then send it back. But id mentioned i build and repair amps and pedals so they also offered to send me the parts i needed to fix it myself so i wouldnt be without it for so long. I was shocked, no company ever lets you fix your own device much less you the parts for free to fix it yourself lol. So I took them up on that offer and a week later the pots arrived and i replaced them and looking at the pcb youd never be able to tell components were replaced. Empress also sent me a new mix pot even though i only told them the input and output were scratchy and a year later the mix pot just so happened to get a little scratchy also so i was able to replace it too. I should mention the pots getting scratchy wasnt Empresses fault at all abd wasnt a quality issue. It really just says more about how much i use them and how much dirt and dust is in the areas i practice/jam in lol. Anyways i love that compressor. I also built a diamond comp clone which is fantastic for that compression as an effect sound but the Empress MKII is still my absolute favorite compressor for sweetening up my tone without getting in the way. I also use the MXR M234 (which i true bypassed cause the m234 buffer dulled my tone whenever it was in my signal chain) and my main reverb is a Chasm Reverb that I built with a Belton Brick (long decay) bit i also have a Hall of Fame (original) that still gets a lot of use especially when im playing through the Fender Champ style amp i built (Fender Champ but with SS rectification, a 6V6 output tube or an EL84 that can be selected with a switch, mid boost push pull on the bass pot, bright cap push pull on the treble pot, Negitive Feedback defeat switch, and high/low input push pull on the volume pot). I also use the same boss looper as you lol. But i use a two button footswitch with it i made to trigger start/stop with one click and to scroll up abd down through my saved loops.
This is gonna be long lol, just a warning. Sorry brother for some reason I never saw this comment. Well honestly It started as a pedal building hobby. I don't make a ton of money but I've been playing guitar for about 25 years. So when I was about 22 (I'm 34 now) I realized my gear quality didn't match my playing ability. But I couldn't afford to buy more expensive guitars, amps and pedals. But I could buy individual parts here and there until I had everything I needed. And id already been upgrading my guitars like that since I was about 16. So I looked up a diy veroboard layout and schematic for a simple treble booster (veroboard is like a premade PCB that has strips of copper connections that you use in place of a custom PCB). After building the Treble Booster and realizing how great it sounded I was hooked. So I started building tons of pedals that I wanted but couldn't afford. Then that turned into building my own versions of classic pedals that I felt I could improve upon. Like for example I'm most proud of the two channel Klon clones I came up with. Most everyone who owns a Klon uses it as a clean boost with the gain low but Klons sound so good as a high gain overdrive also. So I designed a Klon with a boost/channel two foot switch that has its own gain and level pots for the channel two position. That way you can run it as a clean boost and press the channel two switch on the fly to use it as an overdrive or higher gain overdrive. I did it in a way where each setting is just using the original Klon circuit and staying as authentic as possible, so it's not just adding another gain stage which would in my opinion ruin what makes the Klon overdrive so good. Anyways Ive built a handful of those for myself, friends and guys I jam with. So about a decade ago my grandfather died and I bought his house with my wife from the rest of the family and moved in. He was a radio operator in WWII and after the war he was an avid HAM radio operator/enthusiast. Among his radio equipment was an old Tube Radio/Receiver that he kept out in the barn for when he was working. It was obviously in need of a serious restoration being so old and having been In a barn for 40 years at least. So I recapped it (removed all the old electrolytic capacitors since they go bad after about 20 years) and I replaced the tubes, replaced some bad resistors, cleaned everything, replaced the tuner dial cable, changed the incandescent bulbs, repainted the red dial indicator pointer etc etc etc and got it working again. I thought it would be nice to restore his radio and keep it to honor him. I enjoyed the process so much that I decided to build a Fender Champ next but I tweaked and modded the circuit to make it more versatile. I added a switch that allows you to select the stock 6V6 output tube or an EL84 output tube (which makes it more like a Gibson Skylark) and I added a Negative Feedback Loop bypass switch, mid boost on the bass push/pull pot, a bright switch on the treble push/pull pot and a low/high input level switch on the volume push/pull pot. That amp came out so good that I was hooked. I'll play that amp till the day I die. I've done a ton of other projects but those were the most notable because they were the projects that made me fall in love with building and modding pedals and amps. And of course I also built a Mahogany telecaster from scratch with a Vintage White Nitrocellulose finish because I wanted a nicer guitar but I just can't afford to buy one all at once lol. Anyways, sorry for the super long response. I'm kinda shameless when it comes to long comments. If you want to get into building amps or pedals also a great place to start is "tagboardeffects". It's a site with layouts for pretty much every major guitar pedal available. And when you are first starting not being able to read schematics yet can hold you back which is why layouts are really helpfull since they are beginner friendly. They are basically just picture diagrams that you can copy. And after doing a few of those you can compare the layout to schematics for the same circuit and start to figure out how to read schematics. It's much easier than most people probably think it is to read schematics. Plus there are so many good resources online for learning and for getting questions answered. Like DIYstompboxes is a great forum with tons of experienced builders who are more than happy to help if you get stuck or are just confused about anything. There are also several vendors/sites online who specialize in parts for guitar pedals and amps. And a lot of them have pre sorted kits that come with all the parts you need and you just follow the directions and solder the parts in. In fact doing a few kits is probably the best way to get into the hobby. And kits often come with their own labeling and enclosures so you don't have to drill your own enclosure and all that stuff for your first few builds. That way you can just focus on getting your soldering technique down. If you decide to get into the hobby and have any questions I'm more than happy to help. Building your own gear is incredibly rewarding and I cant possibly recommend it enough!
I personally have a 7band equalizer at the start of my chain, before the compressor, to be able to change the sound of my pickups (works like a charm if you have cheap pickups and want a better sound). Behringer's cost a little and it's the same as the Boss's one.
Similar to my bass pedalboard. Tuner, then double down compressor and octave two in one, followed by big muff pi, then chorus, reverb after, and then my loop pedal
I remember in 2008 my brother had a dean guitar since he was Hugh on Pantera and Black label . i know he had a dimebag and orange distorn and few other .
@@aromaz1707 that’s how I do it, depending on the chorus. If you have en effects loop then the delay and reverb belong there for sure, and depending on the chorus pedal -> some sound better before drives and some sound better in the effects loop. I use vibes before drives (cool cat vibe, which is a type of chorus actually) but I have a small clone chorus that sounds good in the effects loop. Having the compressor after the overdrive gives you more control over your output level and to me it sounds better. It does raise the noise floor but it’s not an issue while playing and while you’re not playing a good noise gate can mitigate this.
Need some advice on my pedalboard, i have the following chain (Line 6 Wireless-Wah-DecimatorII-TurboODBoss-Ts9-Ts7-Ds1-Boss Compressor/sustain-Vp Jr- one for the planet waves strobe tuner- main one to H9 Eventide-Tc Elec Nova Delay-Rowin Graphic EQ-Amp, could send a pic, need 2nd opinion 😅
To spend this much on a Billie Joe Armstrong rig is pretty crazy, especially considering everything could be bought for the price of that cookie pedal to get the sound you’re looking for😂 That Strat must feel pretty good to play though
With so much distortion and gain. You probably have some epic noise on the back end. You should look at maybe getting a noise gate. Your polytune already has a buffer built in, so that definitely cleans the signal, but with all those pedals, with distortion and fuzz and really make lots of noise. Noise Gates for the win. But you have some good pedals. I like using boss pedals.
You should really put your delay before the Hall of Fame, and I guess after the Mood, for how you’re using it. It’s a much tighter representation of both delay and verb, in that order. You may not prefer it, to each their own, but that’s my take.

I have 3 distortions, a compressor, a reverb, a delay, a looper and a modulation ensemble. It’s still a work in progress
Similar to my bass pedalboard. Tuner, then double down compressor and octave two in one, followed by big muff pi, then chorus, reverb after, and then my loop pedal
Eddie van hallen only needs a good amplifier
Thanks! Would have loved hearing the compressor. Mine just crapped out after years of use and I’m in the market.
The Empress Compressor is fantastic. It is pro-quality.
You can try to stack distortion first into overdrive, the result superb
Mood sounds like a pedal steel
Youve gotta try delay into reverb and then just do
Comp, chorus, delay, reverb
Sounds stellar when done right
The greatest thing about this video that makes me not even care about the pedals..... the Vibrolux
Facts
Switch the reverb and delay so the delay gets reverberated it lowers feedback
Could you do a demo of all those pedals
Love this
I remember in 2008 my brother had a dean guitar since he was Hugh on Pantera and Black label . i know he had a dimebag and orange distorn and few other .
ds1 is big W when done right
Mood effect sound like every spongebob next scene soundtrack
The off angle on that tuner is driving me insane.
fixed it
@@dylan5784 I love you
I have the original delay.. love it
you're probably gonna wanna swap the verb and delay in the chain
I recently bought a pedal myself, and I want more
You should go over the power source next and how to set it up.
Damn sometimes it’s crazy to think that pedals can be more expensive than some guitars
MOOD PEDAL IS JUST HYLICS OST LESGOOOOO
It would be cool to hear all the pedals.
bro why do you feed a reverb into a delay hahaha
bro i dont i just had it sitting on the board for the video
No noise gate after distortion?
You should run your modulation pedals into your effects loop on your amp.
That mood pedal sounds like an acid trip
Nice. I have that skull strap too!
That is my favorite tuner
i recently picked up the Fender Mustang L25 amp which has all of this & more for just $160 😂
You almost always wanna go delay into reverb but solid board!
The tuner alone was worth more than my whole chain...
The way you described chorus sounds more like flanger
I could see that! I think the typical blue color of chorus’s that i see always remind me of water
I have my compressor before my fuzz pedal as well it works well for me
me looking at all of these and seeing the store i work at has almost all of them. especially that distortion pedal lol
Delay after reverb? Interesting
Delay before reverb
i have the hall of fame 2 and i absolutely love it
Clean board. I'd probably run the verb after the delay
Nice! Although I'd take the Mood pedal off and put the Looper back on.
Delay before reverb for me tho. Also, try experimenting with your chorus before your drives and your compressor after them.
so chorus, drives, compressor, delay, reverb?
@@aromaz1707 that’s how I do it, depending on the chorus. If you have en effects loop then the delay and reverb belong there for sure, and depending on the chorus pedal -> some sound better before drives and some sound better in the effects loop. I use vibes before drives (cool cat vibe, which is a type of chorus actually) but I have a small clone chorus that sounds good in the effects loop. Having the compressor after the overdrive gives you more control over your output level and to me it sounds better. It does raise the noise floor but it’s not an issue while playing and while you’re not playing a good noise gate can mitigate this.
Need some advice on my pedalboard, i have the following chain (Line 6 Wireless-Wah-DecimatorII-TurboODBoss-Ts9-Ts7-Ds1-Boss Compressor/sustain-Vp Jr- one for the planet waves strobe tuner- main one to H9 Eventide-Tc Elec Nova Delay-Rowin Graphic EQ-Amp, could send a pic, need 2nd opinion 😅
polytune3 . you'r tuner . compennts 1 transistor 3 resistor 2 ciramic condinsor and switch and 2 jack fohne
reverb before delay?
Fuzz should go before comp. Its a resistance thing not a tone thing. Fuzz should always go first or it will get squashed
The tuner is also a buffer
Oh boy, we got an empress, a mood and a DM-2. Those MXRs and DS-1 arent going to be on that board much longer... just a guess.
still on there
Ive been in a major chorus and compressor phase for a while now.. i feel like i shouldve been playing in the 80's/90's.
I feel like you should put the reverb after the delay, but thats just me
I just bought my first looper pretty excited but idk how to really be good at doing it
nice setup...
I actually played thru billie joes rig in 1998, i should buy one of those pedals cause I’m currently in a “90’s band”
To spend this much on a Billie Joe Armstrong rig is pretty crazy, especially considering everything could be bought for the price of that cookie pedal to get the sound you’re looking for😂
That Strat must feel pretty good to play though
its not a billie joe armstrong rig i just have the dookie pedal and strat lol
Great pedal board 😊😊😊
Great board dude!
thanks! 🙌
With so much distortion and gain. You probably have some epic noise on the back end. You should look at maybe getting a noise gate. Your polytune already has a buffer built in, so that definitely cleans the signal, but with all those pedals, with distortion and fuzz and really make lots of noise. Noise Gates for the win. But you have some good pedals. I like using boss pedals.
I don't like looping my riffs. I just like them on a long delay.
Reverb before delay... gonna try that out
You should really put your delay before the Hall of Fame, and I guess after the Mood, for how you’re using it. It’s a much tighter representation of both delay and verb, in that order. You may not prefer it, to each their own, but that’s my take.
The bets pedals are pedals you can describe or hear accurately
Love the dookie pedal, such an iconic mic tone 🔥
So the MXR Dookie is overdrive? Where do We draw the line between Distortion and Overdrives?
I see you have one of the ten million DS1's that have been sold!😉
Hear me out: Nothing but distortion chorus and delay, and a washburn m10 black with green inlay with some black beauties on it
Fuzz before OD and a DS1
Fuzz into overdrive. I am sure that sounds real good.
it does
