Congrats and have fun with it. I almost bought that last week, but i pulled back my intentions.

Anyway, adapter is the most important lifeline if u dont wanna invest in batteries.

Do not use the RM12 adjustable adapter. You dont wanna see ur g2.1u suddenly stopped and smell smoke.

I burnt my Boss SD with that and it almost killed my 505.

Buy a fix voltage adapter that sells around RM30, branded one prefereed. Else, u can invest in rechargable batteries.

hey guys, im considering the boss ME-70 or the Vox Tonelab now. for effects, i dont think i really need a million effects, just a simple variety to play around with and most importantly, good sound. comments would be appreciated, thanks.

you will see the effects when you used bunch of pedals in one time..
imagine you put 7 pedals in line and you want to use the last one only.
imagine the signal that gone through 6 different type of pedals...
the alternative to bypass is a/b switch.

Yeah... Shah_Etd is right...
It becomes even worse if you have multiple loops running before the last one...

i think the issue with tru by pass here are more affected by tube amp players. cuz tube amps are quite sensitive with the signals sent into the amp, even a small lil 60 cycle hum can be quite annoying on a tube amp but cant really be heard on a solid state amp. therefore true by pass may be important to some players if they're into clean tones.....if a metal head wants all true by pass i think...thats a bit too much la

hehe....just my thoughts, any comments on that ...?

yeahh!! dat is the explanation i wanna read bro..it is a MAYBE important but not necessary la u wanna have fx with all true bypass..i do admit that true bypass is important to clean tones..but wattaheck, even with not a true bypass i still can find damn nice clean tones..

i'm not asking people to agree with me but it is just my opinion..everywhere i go people talking about true bypass but still when i hear them play, sound coming from their TRUE BYPASS fx sux balls..imo la..sry if i'd offended someone over here.. notworthy.gif

Hi guys,

Just need some advice on effects placement.
Does the phaser go before or after distortion?
I tried both and prefer it before distortion, what about you guys?

From what I understand, buffers in the pedals are quite important if you are driving a long signal path. So if you are having a long signal path and having ALL your pedals true bypass would load your guitar signal and cause it to degrade too.

In any case for a long signal path, you would still need a buffer to drive the signal on the longest portion of the signal so that it doesn't degrade. The problem is that not all buffers are created equal (some are good some are bad). That's why the tone suckage observation.

So though true bypass pedals are good, but buffers are there for a reason smile.gif

I eventually put my Phaser right in front. Phaser -> Dist/OD.
There is really no fix rule of where to put the phaser but mostly people will put the phaser after the OD/Dist. I tried it and it does sound nice but for the time being, I have the Phaser put in front to have the strong feel of it... maybe thats just me...Someday i will put it at the end depends on what I want.

Most important is ur ear to hear which sound nice to you.

Supercolossal is right, buffers are important to run long cable signal and Boss mainly use buffers and not true-bypass.

IMHO, True bypass is good but it is not everything to tone. I would personally prefer to have a few boss pedals to help run the buffer in front and of cos is to have a good buffer in front.

What is important is try out different pedals together and experiment, you will then find out that not all brand pedals are friendly with each other. biggrin.gif

Cheers and Rock On~
