Here at MayosMusic, in addition to offering great guitar, bass, ukulele, banjo and autoharp lessons, plus complete luthier services that include guitar, string instrument and amplifier repair/restortions, we are also a great resource service. Furthering our discussion of the “effect pedal chain”, the following are some suggested guidelines for the “pedal chain” set-up, to help the guitarist create and achieve your new sounds.
The following list of “pedal chain” set-ups are indexed by musical styles. Please note the set-up is for the right-handed player who usually prefers the 1st foot pedal on his/her's right side and then connecting each next pedal to the left of the 1st pedal. Here is but a few!!
