Please help with my pedal board setup
Posted: Mon May 17, 2010 1:19 am
I have recently acquired various effects on Ebay to get ready for my Phish cover band and upon plugging all of them in together in my chain for the first time I was very disappointed with all the hum and extra noise. I did locate a couple bad cables and upon removing them, it got a lot better, but I am going out this week and buying a couple more instrument and patch cables as well as the PP2+. Now, I'm not very tech/electronic savvy and don't totally get all the jargon, so can I get a little help with my effects chain?
Here's exactly what I'm running:
Fender Clapton Strat (w/ Noisless pickups) > Digitech Whammy II > Real McCoy 6 (wah) > Keeley TS-9 > Keeley TS-9 > Keeley Compressor > Egnator Rebel 20 - Effects loop send > Fulltone Supa Trem > Fulltone Deja Vibe 2 (the big one w/ 3 prong plug) > Ibanez Modulation Delay III > Hughes & Ketner Rotosphere > Boomerang+ > Effects loop return.
So I know the ts-9s, Keeley Comp, Ibanez MDIII for sure can be plugged in w/ barrel connectors at normal setting. I believe I can do the same with the Fulltone Supa Trem and the RMC 6 right? As far as the remaining pedals, can any of them be plugged in with the barrel connectors? If not, can I run them into a power strip and then into the courtesy outlet? Or will that all overload it? Also, do I stand to gain anything by combining (w/ cable ties) the adaptor wires of units that are close enough together and being plugged into the same power strip?
Thanks.
