TheGigRig Guitar Player pedal board demo – Part 1: Layout

Guitar effects layout order?

I have four pedals – Boss ME-20 (Gain effect), Digitech Whammy, Boss DD-20 (Delay) and a Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor (Has an input, send and return, then output).

How should i order the pedals?

My assumption would be this:

Digitech Whammy > NS-2 (Send > ME-20 > Return) > DD-20 > Amp

Pretty much the way I’d go…. except that I’ve never bothered to use the fx loop for the NS-2. For as “tech” oriented as I am, you’d think I’d figure it out, but I never did. My buddy uses the fx loop in it, so sure, nothing wrong with that.

If the Whammy was a wah pedal, I would experiment with putting it after the NS-2/ME-20 and before the Delay, to see what you liked best. I prefer my wah in front of my distortion, though, as it changes the tone of the pedal itself, especially when I kick in the solo boost… get that round, fat “lead” tone. I tend to not favor a volume boost when soloing, I rely on the band having already set their instruments to give everyone a good “sonic space” already.

The other answerer has given the more traditional answer in regards to wah pedals…. wah after distortion is more obvious, and with a solo boost gives that volume boost I described earlier. Depends on your style, preference, and genre.

PS…. if you set the NS-2 for a high threshold and a very fast gate (decay?) then you can get an emphasis on your palm-muting…. adds a bit of chug. Again, if that’s your style.
