RE: optimizing guitar signal through stomp boxes



Hi warren,
Yes,they are neccesary i bulit this pedalboard
realizing that when playing with other bands this are
the effects i use the most.
effect chains rules doesnt always work for me,for ex.
the mojo vibe and the roto machine both considered
modulation sound much better before the distortion and
the delays after.I ve done what u said trying every
pedal at a time and adding yet when they are all
off,the signal with the effects in between instrument
and amp and guitar direct results in volume
decrease.If its due to the "true bypass" deal(which
sometime is still unclear to my which efxs are and
which arent,arent all boss ture bypass?)then it seems
ill just have to live with it, unless i do get some
sort of signal patchbay looper which i was trying to
stay away from...
Luis
