guitar pedal board set up for shoegaze?
Hi. I currently have 4 boss guitar pedals:
Loopstation rc-2
Digital Delay dd-6
Reverb rv-5
Distortion DS-1I was wondering what the best way would be to set up my pedalboard to play shoegaze-type music. I like a lot of reverb and I usually don’t use a ton of distortion.
Thanks for your help!
This seems to be my month for answering pedal board questions.
There are 3 families of effects:
- Tone modifiers: Like EQ, Wah, etc
- Level modifiers: Distortion, Compressors, Fuzz, etc.
- Time modifiers: Chorus, Delay, Phasing, FlangingIn general, I’ll put the level modifier’s first, the tone modifiers second, and the time modifiers last. Time modifiers usually work best on a harmonically rich (distorted) signal, and don’t sound as good if they are distorted. And, in general, you’ll want to put your time modifiers in order of increasing delay and density:
Chorus —> Phaser —> Flanger —> Delay —> Reverb
Again, those are only guidelines. I’ve done an effect where just the delay repeats went through a flanger, and it sounded pretty darned cool.
The only hard, fast rules are that if you are using a compressor it should be the first thing. Putting it later in the signal chain will significantly raise your noise floor. Octave dividers and pitch shifters are other effects that should be first in the chain. They need a clean signal to track properly (a distorted signal will confuse them).
The one pedal that no one can agree on where to go is a wah pedal. Some folks put it before their distortion, and some after. No right or wrong there, just two different sounds.
So, if I were plugging in the effects you list, I would wire it up:
Guitar —> DS1 —> RC2 —> DD6 —> RV5 —> AMP
You could also experiment with putting the looper at the end of the chain, but I think that the echoes and reverb would tend to build up too much. But, you never know.
Good luck.
