Re: optimizing guitar signal through stomp boxes

["Fluke" <fluke@gotadsl.co.uk>]

In my opinion, all but 4, 5 and 7 should be in a series FX loop. %, 4 and 7
should be in front of the amp, in that order, depending on what you use the
booster for - more volume or more overdrive.

Thanx Jeff, yes they are all hooked up in series but i
want to stay away from racks,this is a pedalboard ment
for jams,blues bands etc. where i can set up really
fast and uncomplicated access to main effects but
where pure tone is required.You are right some of them
certainly arent true bypass but i do see a lot of pros
using the same of pedals and until now havent seen
anybody using an additional signal looper with them...
I am testing an amp soon which has parallel and series
efxs loop sends and returns maybe i can come up with a
better configuration, weŽll see...
