Ok, i've finally completed my pedal board. Complete with case, daisy chain, power supply, leads, etc..

How should they line up as it goes into my amp. I don't have an FX loop in my amp and only one input..

My pedals are a TU2, NS2, DD3, GE7, CS3, BF2, Hotcake, a Volume pedal and RV3. probably don't need all of them. Still got a PH2, SD1 and TS9 on the way.. Jsut so i can experiment with the most suitable pedals to use.

Are you running stereo amps? If so you need the stereo effect last. Otherwise..........

Volume pedal. Do you intend to use it as an effect to clean up the drive, use first. Or do you want to only raise and lower the tone created by the pedals, use last.

CS3 if you are using it primarily for compression put first. If you are using it for sustain put after the hotcake.

Hotcake, near the front.

Noise suppressor last

Modulations and delay near the end (or loop). You can play around with these

The EQ can go in the middle

A wah would go right at the front

One more thing.........
Put pedals you use together together. ie. If you use the GE as a boost for solos with delay place them side by side so you can hit them with one foot.

again it's probably overkill to have purchased so many pedals at once.. but you won't know what works til you try..

Thanks for the advice and the links!

The setup looks real nice. Is it an Ibanez case?

it's a Boss case. came with all the little leads, the daisy chain and power supply..

That's pretty much how I'd do it as well, and btw, if you're selling any of those, I might be pretty keen....

Way cheaper than you think... each pedal converts to about $105 NZD all new and considering i got the pedal case, daisy chain, leads for free.. it's quite a steal.. shame that the boss PSA is just 120V.

mate, keep them all for at least a couple of months to get into a groove with them. Do you have a DM3?
