WHAT ORDER IS BEST FOR PEDALS?

-

The ‘traditiona­l’ or starting point order is: compressio­n > filter/EQ > OD/distortion/fuzz > modulation > reverb/delay. But, bear in mind, this really is just a starting point. For example, it can be wonderful to use compressio­n after overdrive for rock/gain tones, and there are plenty of analogue modulation­s that seem to be happier before overdrive. The best advice we can offer is to break it down into chunks. What pedals do you use together? Try them in different orders and work up from there.
