FX Loop order

schreckmusic · Jun 3rd 2016

I am running these 3 pedals in my FX loop X

MXR Reverb
MXR Chorus
MXR 10 Band EQ

Does the order of them in the loop matter? Currently I have it as Chorus->Reverb->EQ -> Then I was thinking should I not color the other pedals with the EQ pedal? Run the EQ first? Any suggestions/experiences?

I'd go Chorus- Reverb- EQ or EQ - Chorus- Reverb.
But there's no right or wrong.

EQ-Chorus-Reverb
thats how I would go, unless you are trying EQ out/in something in the other effects. Then Chorus-Reverb-EQ

I am curious why you are using a dedicated EQ pedal.

When you put the chorus after the reverb, you can hear the chorus effect on the reverb tails.

If you would prefer the reverb tails not be chorused, put the chorus in front of the reverb.

Good points guys! Guess I have to experiment and figure it out.

@drog for recording. I have tons of plugins in my daw but find its easier just to tweak a pedal.
