Thanks for all the feedback.

I sat down and took forever trying different chain orders last night. Pretty fun exercise really. Except for the part where you have to rip keep moving cables nonstop. that got old fast. ha.

Tried modulation before dirt, modulation after dirt, before & after delay and moving all the dirt around to cascade into one another in different ways. After all that I’m still not 100% but I think I’m closer.

I moved the Worm way up ahead of the dirt. It’s not the most powerful effect but I like it and it stands out a lot more further up in the chain.

I had the Phase 90 way back after my delay mostly because it was really easy to fit it on my board there for a quick test. Per some suggestions on here and my own experimentation I put it after the dirt and before the delay. Sounds really thick and monstrous back there and if I turn off the dirt and turn on the Phase 90, Memory Boy, Carbon Copy and Electric Mistress with the LPB to give it a pretty clean boost you can get some really trippy fun sounds out of this combo.

The only thing I’m debating is moving the Electric Mistress up in front of the dirt. It sounded good up there and you can hear some of the more distinct weirdness of the tone possibilities there but I kind of prefer it after dirt where it just sends the signal into complete powerful weirdness.

Big Muff w/ Electric Mistress & LPB on along with the Memory Boy on a fat delay sounds like a wall of noise coming at your face

Here’s my new version. Tell me if you have any other ideas on order

Tele->Dunlop Crybaby->XO Worm–>Boss Blues Driver->Big Muff Pi NYC-> Micro Metal Muff->-Electric Mistress->MXR Phase 90—>MXR Carbon Copy->EHX Memory Boy->EXH LPB-1->Boss RC-2 Looper->VOX AMP

Also, thanks for the tips on the buffering & bypass. I need to try and mess with them.

I did an extremely basic test. I plugged straight into the amp, played a while and then back into my chain with everything off and compared the sounds.

I was kind of shocked. I didn’t really lose a whole lot of volume. The tone was different, more tinny and not as bassy as going straight in but not terrible. Kind of surprising.

Maybe just buying one of those switches that lets you bypass your loop would solve this? Know of any good ones?

I’m guessing not much of an advantage. It’d be insanely loud and crackly most likely.

Thanks, I appreciate it. Looking forward to playing around with it a bit.

Think I’m finally going to give my digital & analog pedals their own power too.

I’m keeping ’em both! Just played around for a few hours and they are too fun together. If you dial it in just right, you can pretty much just play one note and walk away. haha.

oh yea, or if I could get it cheap, an english muff’n

Ok. Thanks!

Right. Thank you.

I was unclear as to why when I removed the MMM from my current pedal chain and tried to use it by itself and fully connected the power source and instrument cable on both sides that it did not turn on?

I tried several cables and it still wouldn’t work. Weird.
