With all the different types of effects and devicesavailable for musicians, there can be confusion with how to set up your signal chain with your effects. We offer a variety of pedals that can be placed in many different ways in your audio signal chain.
There is no wrong way to connect your effects in your signal chain as each method can provide you with different sonic results. Though what works for one person or rig may not work for another.
Another way to set up your pedals is by placing them within the effects loop of your amplifier. An effects loop is an audio input and output loop that is placed after the preamp and before the power amp section of your amplifier, using theEffects Send and Effects Return jacks. On some amplifiers, these can be labels Preamp Out (Effects Send) and Power Amp In (Effects Return). Not all amplifiers have effects loops, but those that do allow for you to place some of your effects within the loop.
A Brief History Of Guitar Effects Pedals [infographic]
Typically, players tend to place their delay and reverb effects within the effects loops of their amplifiers. This placement is especially helpful if you get your overdrive and distortion from your amplifier instead of pedals. Otherwise you would be feeding your delay repeats and reverb ambiance into the overdrive and distortion of your amplifier, which can sound muddy and washed out. You can also place your modulation pedals within the effects loop of your amplifier as well for a different sound.
With series effects loops, the entire signal from the amplifier’s preamp section is sent through Effects Send OUTPUT to pass through the effects and return through the power amp section from the Effects Return INPUT.
Withparallel effects loops, half the the signal from the amplifier’s preset section is sent through the Effects Sent OUTPUT to pass through effects, while the other half passes directly on to the amplifier’s power amp section to always be heard unaffected. With this type of effects loop, there is typically an effect level control that allows you to dial in the amount of the effect you want heard along with your unaffected signal. We recommend setting the MIX control on any of your effects to 100% when placed within a parallel effects loop. Our TimeLineandBigSky pedals have a Kill Dry feature (DRYSIG parameter in the GLOBLS menu) that mutes your dry signal for use in parallel effects loops—however we do not recommend using this setting when using more than one pedal within the effects loop.

Guitar Pedal Order: How To Organise Your Pedalboard
DecoTape Saturation & Doubletracker is a unique effects pedal that allows for a wide variety of tonal possibilities. You can place Deco near the beginning of your signal chain and use theTape Saturation as a light overdrive. Or, you can place Deco at the end of your chain, use lower Tape Saturation settings, and provide your entire signal with the tape-like warmth, compression, and added low end harmonics.
MobiusModulation has a unique Pre/Post connection feature that allows you to place the effects in one of two locations in your signal chain. Within the Params menu of each preset, you can select whether you would like it to be placed within the Pre or Post positions in the chain. (See Mobius manual pages 22-23 for details.)
LexRotary can work well after your gain based effect with your other modulation pedals, or at the very end of your signal chain as well to make it sound like your entire signal is passing through a rotating speaker cabinet.
High Pitch Noise From Guitar Effect Pedal Board?
BigSkyReverberator has a built-in cab filteractivatedbya toggle switch on the back of the pedal. This gives you the sound ofplaying through a custom 1×12 speaker cabinet with the reverb effects engaged or bypassed. This feature works well for direct recording or connecting directly to the mixer of a PA system.
It’s important to remember that these setups are not set rules that must be followed. You can get a variety of unique sounds by placing your effects in unorthodox locations. It’s common to run into that special sound that came about as a ‘happy accident’ when setting up your effects. Using these suggestions, you can build up your own pedalboard to suit your individual taste.
