Tech 21 Blonde - where in signal path?

MattNovak

afternoon all

as per the title - I picked up this pedal for 2 songs in our set. Whereabouts should I place it on my board? I have the normal suspects (tuner, wah, fuzz, distortion, clean boost, reverb and delay).

thanks in advance

it's meant as a Fender amp in a box so I would stick it after your tuner and before anything else

What are you trying to achieve with it?

What amplifier are you using currently? 

Does your amplifier have an effects loop? 

You could use it like a regular drive pedal or tone shaping pedal going into the preamp, as suggested above.

But because it was designed as a preamp pedal, you could also bypass the amplifier preamp, and plug it straight into the power amp return and get some nice Fender cleans. Depends on what you want to do.

Or you can use it to go direct to PA.

I put my T21 Leeds between my drives/wah and my time/mod/solo boost.  I only turn it on if I'm running into a power amp or FX return, otherwise I'll bypass it when going into the front end of an amp.
