RE: How do you chain your Effects?

["Tony K" <bigtonyk@gmail.com>]

My setup goes like this...

Guitar-> RP2000/VG8/Synths -> rack mixer (stereo out split to) 

        -> 12 channel mixer -> 16 channel mixer
      -> Alesis ModFX -> (split) -> 16 channel mixer  
                            -> back to the 12 channel mixer

Once in the 16 channel, I send one AUX send to
   RC20xl -> Ibanez Chorus -> Adrenalinn -> DD20 -> RSP550 -> back to the
mixer

And one AUX to
   DigiTech PDS1002 -> Vortex -> DL4 -> back to the mixer.

Yeah, it's nuts.

I run my bass into a EH Bass MicroSynth and an ART TubeMP.  

I loop the wet signal since by the time it gets to the loopers, it's
completely mangled.  But I can loop the dry signal if I want.

I send the ALT 3/4 sends on the 16 channel mixer to my PC for recording.  

That mixer has the Aux returns from both sends, 2 stereo outs from the 12
channel (that allows me to send one signal to the PC and one to the
loopers), stereo out from the Alesis ModFX chain.  I can also do wacky 
stuff
like routing the Aux send return from one to the other.  It does completely
unexpected stuff all the time.

Confused?

Tony

Hi folks

since I've been discussing about effects lately: how do you actually chain
your effects?

I usually do it like this:
Mic -> Mixer -> FX -> Mixer (Volume/Panning L/R) -> Looper -> PA

Rarely, I also send the Aux Outs of my RC-50 thru effects again.

Of course you could probably have a sophisticated setup like this:
Instrument -> i.e. Guitar FX pedals -> Looper -> additional FX (i.e.
KaossPad) --> on final mix some master fx (i.e. reverb)

But in general: 
Where do you usually add effects? 
Do you mostly loop your _dry_ or _wet_ signal?

Best regards
Buzap
