Pedals like an octaver or pitch-shifter go here as they work best on a clean signal. I’ve never seen a pedal chain without having the tuner first (and I can’t think of a reason why it wouldn’t be!). The tuner pedal needs a clean signal directly from the guitar to function properly. Here is the correct sequence of pedals for this configuration: 1. Note: The numbers show the order, they’re not related to the numbers of the categories below. Here’s a picture showing the order that my pedals are connect to each other. This is the pedal chain order that most people agree upon, and the one that I use myself. Now that you know the guitar pedal types, it’s time to get them in the right order. More often than not, these pedals go late or last in the pedal chain, so they can apply their effects to the final signal. Loop pedals can also be included in this category. Time effects: These pedals affect the timing of the sound passing through them, like reverb or delay pedals. This category includes flangers, vibrato pedals, ring modulators, and chorus pedals. Modulation: Closely related to filter and pitch pedals, these are different mainly in how they do their work. These pedals, like fuzz, overdrive, and distortion giving the input signal a rough, gritty sound familiar to rock music.
Gain: Gain pedals are used to create a “clipped” signal. These types of pedals include volume control, boost, and tremolo pedals, Volume: Volume based effects change the volume of the input signal. Pitch modifiers: This group of pedals includes devices like tuner pedals, pitch shifters, harmonizers, and octavers. In other words, any pedal that balances the volume of a signal or stopping unwanted sound like hum. The most recognisable examples are wah-wah pedals and equalizers.ĭynamics: These pedals include compressors, noise gates, and EQ. The different types of guitar pedalsįilters: These are pedals that work by changing some parts of a signal’s frequencies. To do this, you need to know the different types of guitar pedal effects, and how they interact. We’re just making sure that the effects are working together in the right way to achieve the desired sound. That’s a simple example, but it’s essentially all we’re doing when ordering our guitar pedals. So, the tuning pedal needs to come first in the pedal chain. If you put this after a pitch-altering effect, then the result on the tuning pedal will be wrong. The purpose of the tuner pedal is to show you if your guitar’s in tune. So, why is it that guitar pedals need to be arranged in a certain order? Well, it’s all about how the guitar pedal modifies the signal.
All the pedals are connected and pass the signal on to each other.
