Euge, your videos are the best! I can stop watching one an actually understand how things work in a practical, working musician's way. I am watching them all! Thank you!
Oh thanks! Really glad to hear this!
I love putting a Flanger in the effect loop qith a very subtle flange (almost in a straight doubler config) and it sounds heavy af, thank you Dimebag for that bit of inspiration.
Yeah it’s a cool trick also! 👌
Thanks, Euge for examples of magic sound! Power, solid, fires! 🔥🔥🔥
My pleasure! Thanks!
I love every single of your videos man! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you like them! Thanks!
I needed to know this and you saved me a lot of time. Excellent stuff. Thank you!
Oh cool! Thanks!
Great demonstration man 🤘🏽
Finally someone using modulation before and after the gain channel, there are too many people showing only the "correct" way ( modulation after distortion).
Thanks Euge!
Thanks! 😎👍
@@EugeValovirta230V wow. This debunks all the popular advice floating on the internet which says to always put modulation in the effects loop. Flanger and Phaser sound better before the distortion as you have shown. Thanks!
There are really no rules. If it sounds good it’s good but in general I always use phaser before overdrive (pedal) and flanger after (overdrive pedal) but both in front of the amp 👌😎. Same with chorus but sometimes that in the effect loop. Wherever it does the best what I want it to do. Mostly it’s in front.
@@EugeValovirta230V I will try it.
This video was super helpful, thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks!
Great video. Cleared a few things up for me. Thanks! 😎🎸👍
Thanks! Glad to hear!
This was great! Thanks for posting! :)
Glad to hear! Thanks!
Great playing!
Thanks!
Great stuff man ✌
Thanks!
love this video. i have a mxr flanger in my fx loop and i noticed the results sounded way better when plugged after the guitar.
i would say the same especially for my phaser in my alesis quadraverb ( ot the best phaser sound but not terrible surprisingly.)
i switched my vintage tc sfc to the newer pedal form and those seem to be the best sounding through an fx loop.
i guess its safe to assume phase/flanger go before and chorus to taste.
thanks for the video! your results pretty much confirmed similar results i had speculated you would have
Thanks man!
I use Phaser before overdrive (SD-1 usually) right after wah and Fla & Cho after od. Sometimes Fla before Cho and sometimes after but it doesn’t really matter ’cos I hardly use them at the same time. And I use Fla very occasionally anyway 😎.
Thanks so much for share it.. blessings
Thanks man!
Thanks my friend!!!!
Thank you too!
Thank you brother
Any time 🙏😎.
Cool video. It was awesome that you played the green tinted sixties mind intro. I've always wanted to learn that. Sweet axe, too.
Thanks! Yeah it’s a great song and ”Lean Into It” is a great album. When I was a kid I learned all of the songs from the album and somehow that lick just came from somewhere 😎👍.
@@EugeValovirta230V I always loved that album too. You have a great channel. I really enjoy it.
Cool! Glad to hear that! 🙏🤘
I cannot believe I did not see this video but I’m having trouble using time effects in my amplifiers but this video definitely helps out a lot.
Glad to hear this man! Thanks! 🙏
@@EugeValovirta230V You’re welcome!
Hey! You are the coolest guy doing this! You really enjoy it! I have a jcm800 89 (no loop) and idk how should i put my pedals (tunner-dunlop rotovibe-morley wah-ts9-Spark miniboost-carbon copy-mxr90-decimator)
Thanks! 🙏😎 I’d put those pedals in this order: tuner-wah-rotovibe-mxr90-ts9-spark boost-decimator-delay( dly in the loop if you’re using amp gain as your main gain and ts only to boost it, if you’re using these into a clean amp the delay works great in front of the amp - check out my video about delay 😉). And decimator before dly so that it doesn’t cut off the delay tails 👍
Euge Valovirta thanks!! Amp gain as my Main gain, no loop in the amp :(, i clean with guitar volume and delay Only for solo
Ok cool! Yeah the only con with old Marshall’s is that they don’t have effect loop and as you’ve probably noticed that delay sounds quite chaotic in front of an overdriven amp.
Thank you for this , i did not like the way my Phaser 90 sounded in the loop ,,,, the chorus i have in the loop and i like it , 👍🏻
🙏👌
Hello Euge, I’ve just found out your channel and thank you for all these nice videos and tips.
Just a quick question: where would you throw an SD-1 and a DS-1 (used as boosts) with a BF-3 with an already dirty amp (BF-3 not in the loop). Thank you. 🙏🏻
Thanks man! Glad to hear! I like to have flanger after the drive pedals and phaser in front 👌.
@@EugeValovirta230V thank you so much, I’ll try it! All the best from France 🍷
@11:50 Overdriven preamp w/ phaser in the fx loop (Euge with squinched face...smiles)..."Well...it sounds like shit!!!" Haha! Good examples of licks and riffs most people watching will know (EVH, Dime, Zakk, etc.)...informative and fun video...good stuff!
😁👍. Thanks man!
Great video. But, let's throw a fuzz in the mix.
Let's assume Chorus in the loop. Would you put a Phaser and Flanger before or after Fuzz? Thanks.
Thanks!
Usually I have Phaser in the beginning of the effect chain right after wah and before any ODs etc. and Flanger after but having said that it all depends what I’m looking for. If it sounds good, and I get the results I want, it’s good. No matter in which order they are 😊.
Those freakin D-Tunas! Always need a little readjustment.
I like to use my Chorus in the loop and only for the clean stuff.
My flanger is in front of every gainstage, but with very moderate settings.
Indeed 😊.
I took the dtuna off mine, could never get it working right, but im not touring so i didnt try too much tinkering since i dont really need it, pissed me off and off it went
😁
Were you running any delay or reverb
Stupid Question: if i have a normal pedalboard, how does it work that some go through the effects-loop, and some stay in front of the amp? I just can´t imagine the way of the cables?
Lots of cables or a switching system where the pedals are in a rack with the amp and you control the whole system with a foot controller like this one for example: voodoolab.com/product-category/switching/
My pleasure!
You can't use the same settings in both instances, they do sound different but if set correctly they will all work great in the effects loop.
👌
Thanks Euge, very informative as always. Some years ago you made a video about your large pedalboard: czcams.com/video/yANcJ4WyFWM/video.html
Back then you seem to use the flanger after the Friedman. Was there a reason using the flanger after the distortion? Any songs you needed this kind of tone?
Thanks!
It soundsa bit different so sometimes I have it pre and sometimes post depending what kind of sound I’m looking for on any given day 😎.
Thx Euge !!! I'm looking into some new fx one of then being a flanger !!!
It sounds like shīt hhhhha ✌️✌️🤪✌️✌️
😁🕺🤟
Chorus evh the best. Try....
Yeah it’s a good one too.
The best way to use any of these pedals is as a doorstop or a paperweight! LOL!
😁
Hey awesome! Can you please tell me what song u are playing at 9:31? I recognize it but cant remember. Thanks!
Thanks! Green Tinted Sixties Mind by Mr. Big.
Dudes having WAY too much fuN!!!! LOL
