Hi all!
A lot of setups vary upon taste and how you like it to sound. But it does matter if you don’t want to hear a lot of noise coming out of your amp or amps! there are slight differences when you put one in front of another or vice versa. I set tuner, volume pedal, then modulation pedals, then noise suppressor. then echoes and delays, finally my loopers. out to two amps. I do not use distortion, I like my sound clean, as I like to create soundscapes. I use an acoustic electric violin, a Gibson 1989 standard acoustic with a spring load martin pick-up, a 1984 Fender Stratocaster candy apple red, a 2000 Fender Stratocaster Mexican (Rewired of coarse to what it is supposed to be!!) 7pc. a-g harmonicas, a Roland polyphonic Synthesizer, and a Casio standard keyboard, and of coarse a drum machine. I am a bit of a pedal hoarder, don’t want to take them off, love to add!! I take my most favorite pedal and set the volume level to what I really like, then I set all the other pedal volumes as close as I can to that one, so when I close and open I do not get any louder or quieter sound but pretty even. You have to work at this because of all the other settings. I find it is worth the time. You may have to adjust the loopers from time to time, but overall the setup works well. It really depends on what you like. I think the most important, are well placed noise gates or suppressors, and remember, noise suppressors tend to cut down your delays.
After all it is your signature sound that you want!! This is just what works for me! Have fun!!Bobby_micline9ParticipantTo Rob Leishman, Yes it is possible you may be drawing too much power, check to see if your pog 2 is a 9v or 12v power, my multi bricks have 9v 12v and 18v power, if it is 12v you may need to get a power brick with these options. or get an independent power supply for the pog 2, the micro pog should be 9v. I do not have the pog 2 yet but I an planning to get it. I have the epitome it has the holy grail plus, the electric mistress and the nicro pog in one pedal. hope this helps! if you still have problems I will try to look it up and help you out.

Bobby_micline9ParticipantTo Superlebido, I bought the superego and love it, as a rule of thumb, set your tuner first, then a volume pedal if you have one, then all your modulation effects..such as chorus, flanger, reverb, vibrato, tremolo, phaser and yes the super ego, then your noise gate or suppresser, then another volume or wah pedal if you want then your delays and echoes and octave type effects, you will find out a lot of your problems will quiet down, works well for me. the reason you set your delays echoes and loopers after, is so the noise gate or suppressor does not shorten your echoes or delays. Tip set your threshold at about 1:30 on your noise suppressor. Tip 2 Set your loopers last so you can capture any effect you have on your chain. The very last pedal should be the EQ. you can run mono straight thru all and split the signal to stereo out of the EQ. Works very well!! Hope this helps!!
Bobby_micline9ParticipantHi all, Wishing you all Great Message sending, with your music!
OK Here goes, What works best for me, with all the hype with stereo, and send and return confusion.
I kept it simple and have no problems!! My Setup in order, Guitar or instrument, Boss tu3 tuner, Ernie ball 6165 volume pedal, Boss cs3 compressor sustainer, EHX epitome multi, EHX pulsar, EHX superego, EHX ravish sitar, Earthquake optical vibe the depths, EHX voice box,(2 mics 1 into voice box and one into mixer) Boss ns2 noise suppressor threshold set at 1:30, EHX octave multiplexer(for bass licks)Boss DD-20 giga delay, EHX memory man delay looper with hazarai, Boss RC-30 phrase looper, Pigtronix infinity looper, and MXR 10 band Equalizer. I ran all with the shortest cables possible mono through, and split the signal out of the equalizer to 2 amps, and I have no problems. I mic up the left and right amp into line 1 and 2 on mixer, line 3 is the first vocal mic clean signal. line 4,5,6, are open if someone wants to come over and create music. I have a reliable ole Roland JX-3P programmable preset polyphonic synthesizer on line 7 and 8 on the mixer. I have a casio keyboard clean signal on line 9 and 10, an Alesis sr-16 drum machine on line 11 and 12, a droid tablet for nature sounds on line 13 and 14, a Microsoft surface tablet on line 15 and 16 for sampling or more sounds. the two main outs of the mixer go to a bose two speaker system I use to monitor. From the Bose system line out to a behringer usb u control device into a laptop for recording with the software. then a headphone out from the mixer to a headphone amp box with the headphones plugged into the amp box. It all works just fine. I was actually impressed with the sound for someone who just makes music at home alone. The Key is setting all the mixer knobs correctly to get the best sound possible.
Truth: Some of the best artists in the world have no idea what their pedals are doing or their settings yet it is working for them!!Bobby_micline9ParticipantQuote:I created a guide for the Ravish Sitar presets.
