Re: What's in your pedalboard?

I use a Dunlop Wah --> Marshall Guv'nor II (with little gain-Used as a booster) --> Proco Turbo Rat (Preferably used with my Strat not the LP) --> Marshall DSL 100 (Preamp) --> Boss Gt6 (only for delays/reverb & chorus -no preamps/cabinets/distortion simulations) --> then to the opamp/post amp.

What would be useful is not the chain effects but the way you use it. For example do you use a distortion or overdrive as a booster. Does it work well with your amp? Does it work well on both channels. Does it work well for both Higain 1 & Higain 2 channels? Do you use a distortion/overdrive to just that not to boost but use the Higain channel at the same time?

Be more thorough. Perhaps some of as will learn how to do things the right way or even learn more?

For example I use the Turbo Rat together with the Crunch channel in order to distort and boost the guitar signal a bit instead of going to a Higain channel. I don't know if that is something everyone does but it does work for me.

P.S.1 It should be noted here that most tube amps work great with boosters etc. but valves do tends to be tricky. For example most effect work ok on the primary channel (Clean or Higain 1) of a valve amp but on the secondary (Crunch or Higain 2) they suck. There's a reason for that but that's for another post.

P.S.2 The simpler the chain the better, I must get rid of the Gt6
