[QUOTE="Julia, post: 57226, member: 1784"] Note: If you use anything like a germanium or silicon fuzz pedal they should go in front of the wah and whammy, unless these have been modded to be true bypass. Fuzzes provide tones an amp just cannot produce on its own. Make sure you reduce the level of the loop to instrument level so you don't clip the pedal buffers or your pedal signal. You need to reduce it by approx -15 db. You can do this with an EBTech LLS2 or build one of these: [url]http://www.fortunecity.com/marina/newland/2081/id3.htm [/url] All that is is a level pot, and it's variable so depending upon how hot you run your modules you can adjust this so you don't blow by it like you can with the -15 db fixed pad of the LLS2. You just have to set it and leave it alone. I made one and it cost me about $30 in parts because I didn't have the wire. Also if you build it out of an aluminum box make sure you insulate the jacks from the box. Mine is black plastic. Since it doesn't get banged around it's good enough. It is basically a volume pedal with a knob instead of a pedal. And if you use a volume pedal, do not use the tuner out. That really sucks tone. [/QUOTE]
