Your Signal Path

DesVegas

For this thread i am not concerned with the make and model of the pedal, just the order of your pedals in your signal path and what they do (i'm sure lots will just say Helix, and that is fine)

For example, mine is

Wah
Boost
Fuzz
Compressor
Distortion
Tremolo
Self Oscillating Flanger
Delay
Tuner - used mainly as a cut off for the above
EQ
Looper - reverb then flange then octave down
And lastly Delay

Whoo Hoo!! Love it

Helix, but for general use:

Guitar
Wah
Compressor

side chain with Octave down, dirt, EQ and compression for bassish sounds

Phaser
Dirt
Phaser
Delay
Reverb
Amp sim
Tremolo x2
Looper
More reverb

Putting delay and reverb before the amp was at Drew's suggestion - I rather like it.

Alright:

tuner (and signal turner-offer)
compressor
octaver
(M5- various modulations, pitch shifters)
overdrive
overdrive
----
delay
(M5- reverbs, modulations, rotary speaker)
booster
----

M5 is in one loop of a signal routing flippy floppy box, the ODs and delay (and my amp's preamp section) are in the other, so I can use the M5 either in front of the amp/drives or in the loop depending on what I'm using it for.

@english_bob ;
do you use your octaver for octave up or down or both?

It's a BYOC clone of the Mu-Tron Octave Divider- it can do octave down or octave down+octave up (but not octave up alone). It's analogue, so the octave up is in the Octavia/Green Ringer ballpark, so is more prominent around the 9th-12th frets, and both octaves get all tired and emotional if you play chords and/or play sloppy. I've normally got it set to give me both octaves.

With amp and pedalboard it's 

Guitar 
Wireless 
Fuzz 
Wah/Volume 
Drive 
Compressor 
Boost 
Tremolo 
Modulation 
Delay 
Reverb 
Amp ( no loop, no built in reverb) 

I also have a "satellite" board which I add for more ambient stuff which is an Ehx Superego with a Pitch Fork and Zoom MS70CDR in it's loop. I just plug it in between the reverb pedal and amp. 

Otherwise, it's 
Guitar 
Wireless 
AX8
PA

Helix for fun. This is completely and utterly movable, so not worth writing down..

Rather unorthadox now I think of it, but it works very well for me.

My home rig is in a state of gradual evolution from this a few years ago and is currently ...

compressor

noise suppressor (send)

(side chain to tuner)

phaser

clean boost

overdrive/boost

dual overdrive/boost

pre-amp/overdrive

noise suppressor (return)

pitch shifter

volume pedal

rhythm/solo switchable attenuation

(amplifier input)

(amplifier fx send)

analogue delay

digital delay

digital delay modeller/looper

stereo digital delay (L R out)

stereo looper (L R)

Pre-amp/speaker emulator (x2 L R)

stereo rack compressor (L R)

(mixing desk L R)

Stereo reverb (in desk aux send)




.... I think?
:-/


[edit] For comparison, my live rig ...

compressor

clean boost

overdrive

volume pedal

digital delay

For my live rig I think this is the sequence, but I use a GT6 (in manual mode) with two drive pedals in the loop, so some of the internals to the GT6 are a bit of a guess. But this is how I'd basically arrange things for any set up.

Guitar
Tuner
Noise Gate
Wah
Compressor
Overdrive (Tubescreamer type pedal) - in the GT6 loop
Distortion (more drive/distortion) - in the GT6 loop
Volume pedal
Delay (~300ms) with repeats
Delay (slap back) single repeat
Chorus
3dB clean boost for a slight lift
6dB clean boost to go from rhythm to lead
Reverb
Amp (into the clean channel) - nothing in the amp loop. The levels are set so the clean boosts don't overdrive the amp itself.

The GT6 might soon be replaced with a Helix LT where I'd probably set things up in a similar manner


For home recording it's:
Guitar
Zoom UAC-2 interface (USB3.0)
Computer
Reaper
Ampsim (usually S-Gear 2 or Amplitube Fender 2).

Yamaha HS7 monitors attached to my Zoom UAC-2

1) Compressor
2)  Pitch shifter/harmoniser
3) Light OD
4) OD
5) Fuzz
6) Booster
V) FX LOOP
7) Mods (via  Mobius)
8) Delays (via Nemesis)
Amp reverb

The numbered loops are all in a BOSS ES-8 so can  go in any order I want, although generally I keep them in that sequence. I also have an expression pedal which can talk to the pitch shifter  through a TRS cable via  the ES-8 and to the bods and delays via midi. Plus there's a tuner which isn't in the signal chain but is split out via the ES-8. The V is  movable so I can put any pedal in any order either before  or after the loop.
