Hi, i'm new to this forum. I've been playing guitar for a few years now and recently i've invested into my tones and pedals.
I just some advice on preferably what arrangement i should be putting these pedals together. thanks

gear:

Fulltone OCD
Keeley Katana
Boss DD-5 Delay
Keeley compressor
Vox V848 wah
Ts-808 ibanez

american standard stratocaster plugged into a redhotdelux fender

Welcome to GGH! Do a search on "What's your signal" and you will find a whole discussion on pedal arrangement. Looks like you've got some great stuff. I have a Keeley modded Sparkle Drive that I love. I hope you enjoy your time here!

Thanks frank for the warm welcome. Yes sorry about the search thing, kind of new to this forum. Anyway after doing a bit of research through this forum, i arranged mine accordingly like this:

Strat - wah - compressor - katana - OCD - ts-808 - Delay - Reverb - amp

anyway it works quite well and thanks for your help. But i have one more question here, i do have a boss tuner and i tried to put it before the chain and after and i found drastic changes in my tone in my output. Just wondering where to put it as best? should i shove in in between? Oh also, since the keeley katana is more of a clean boost pedal for me, should i put it before the overdrive OCD? Thanks in advance.

cheers

No worries about the search mention. I don't think frank was getting on your case or anything, just letting you know about the perfect thread to include this information in.

As far as tuners go, I always try to find a place I can plug it in without disturbing my signal path. A stereo pedal works great at this, as most of us run everything in mono, so you can use the second output to go to the tuner.

You can also use your effects loop on the amp.

When I used a boost pedal, I always liked it better if it was put after the overdrive. Not saying that's the absolute way it has to be, just that I thought it worked better.

What kind of Tuner is it?

Pedals like the Boss TU2 Tuner have a bypass jack so that the signal doesnt go through the pedal when you are playing but a stomp on it sends the signal to the tuner and mutes the output. In this case, I would put it first in the chain to get the purest signal to the tuner for accuracy. Another way is to use an Ernie Ball Volume pedal #6166. It has a "Tap" jack that sends a signal to your tuner "Tapped" off the main signal so that it is totally out of the signal path. That is how I use mine and have had great results with it. In this case, I put the Volume pedal and tuner after the boost pedals but before the other effects so that I can reduce my volume without changing the amount of gain from my pedals.

You can also put it first in the chain to reduce the gain on the pedals intentionally, it's just like turning the volume down on your guitar....it cleans up the dirt as the volume is reduced. This works also, but hey, My guitar already has a volume knob on it so I put mine AFTER the boost pedals so I can do both.

Either way works fine depending on what you prefer.
