Pedal Placement

corduroy

ok, Does it matter where the pedals are placed?
I have....
Left to Right-
Morley Deluxe Distortion
Ibanez TS-9 Overdrive
Boss Flanger

I've heard that where you place them determines the kind of sound you get..true?

Thanks in advance!

True. But since you only have three pedals, you should just try all possibilities and see what sounds best. There are some thumb rules, but they are ignored far more often than any other thumb rule I know.

any combo is valid. whatever sounds best to you. order will affect sound greatly when effects are combined.

Whatever sounds better to you!There are no rules in effects.Most of the people place the wah first then the overdrive section and then delay,flanger etc.It's up to you though how you place them...

Yes. First in the row = first from your guitar lead.
