(Question) Effect Loop, Series or Parallel..?

[pino0105]

Hi,

Im building a pedal board with some analog dist and comp stomp boxes, Tc Nova, Whammy and WahPedal....

I own a RK I with serial and parallel Fx Loops... I want to keep as much as possible from the original Guitar tone, which is the best config (routing) to try..

Thank you

Pino

Some disagree, but I contend that when you can - mix in parallel. This goes for delay and reverb. And, in my opinion, is the only way to run digital reverb and delay.

Some FX, however, will only work if you affect your whole signal - that is - serial.

In your case, I'd run everything (dist, comp, Whammy, Wah) in FRONT of the amp and put the Nova Delay in the loop - mixed in parallel.

Another thing, you'd be wise to put the Whammy in some kind of true-bypass loop. They suck tone like a vampire when they're off!
