It's something I've been doing for years.
One minute I'm playing a slight overdrive with chorus,
then click and I'm sounding like full out 68 marshall plex.

Keep working on it, it will come second nature after awhile.

Do some searching, see what you can find about  'David Gilmour's'   board, It had switching capabilities so each effect could be individually bypassed or configured in any sequence.

Thanks again everyone.]]> Live Sound Anonymous https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/using-stomp-boxes/#post-48626 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/using-stomp-boxes/#post-48625 Sun, 31 Aug 2003 12:17:30 +0000
Example: pre-set 1 is set to sound like the Eagles rhythm guitar. pre-set 2 would be set to sound like the lead guitar of the Eagles, pre-set 3 maybe a rhythm sounding like Bostons guitar, and pre-set 4 would be the lead guitar for Boston.

Which when you look closely at each pre-set some have small amount of effects being used to were Bostons lead guitar has everything being used and then some.

And yes being able to change between effects in real time is a skill all its own. This how a guitar player can sound clean playing rhythm and within 1/100 of a millisecond can sound like Angus young.

If you find yourself needing to simutaniously turn one on and the other off, put them side-by-side in your chain. One stomp can hit both boxes.]]> Live Sound Preston https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/using-stomp-boxes/#post-48624 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/using-stomp-boxes/#post-48623 Sat, 30 Aug 2003 23:51:32 +0000

I use a Midi switcher, Most of my effects are rack mount and are controlled with a midi pedal. What I do with it is I can change another pre-set or turn individual effects on or off.  It also allows me to change effects parameters in real if need be.
Most of my pre-sets have been pre-programed. Which means I have spent countless hours on setting up my effects searching for a sound that reflects my Individuality and style.

The other stomp box's are run through the FX loop on the back of the pre-amp. The jack that says (send) go out to the first pedal, the out from the first pedal goes to the in on the second pedal, and so on through other pedals, The last pedal out jack is then plugged into the FX return jack.

There are no rules on effects order.  Experimenting is the best way to learn, you can come up with many unusual and interesting sounds.
Here is an order of effects I most often use,  Wah pedal, Compressor, Overdrive/Distortion, Equalizers, Modulation effects (chorus,flanger), Level controllers (volume pedal,noise gate),Echo Effects (delay,reverb).

Hope this helps

Joe
