Treble booster in the effect chain?

[Montelovesco]

I got this nice Catalinbread Naga Viper form LordoftheJungle (thanks again for the smooth deal). Sounds great if I use it alone, and I didn't put in on my board yet because I wonder where in the effect chain its place would be - before or after the OD section? Or doesn't it matter at all in end?

Any hints would be appreciated.

Thanks.

The order does matter quite a bit, but there's no right or wrong way. Try both and see which you prefer.

Most seem to prefer them before an OD (especially germanium TB's, for some reason) , but like Ben indicated, it's really a matter of personal choice.

Use it first. It will work better with a wah or other dirt pedals if it is first. I have one and it is a great pedal. Somehow they managed to make a silicon TB act and react like a germanium TB. Set the amp on the edge of break up or full on and then step on the Naga!

I run my Java Boost right after my wah and before any other overdrives or boosters. Seems to work well that way.

This is how I do it as well .

Yep! The treble booster really likes to "see" the pickups, but do experiment.

Hunh... I always used a treble booster last...

[JohnnyThunders]

I've tried mine DAM Red Rooster before and after the fuzzes and od and liked it last in the chain when I was running other pedals. Now its all alone.

I run wah, Decimator input 1, phaser, JHS BananaBoost (HBE Germania, Diaz Texas Ranger, BeanoBoost, NagaViper, etc...) Decimator input 2 and FauxTapeEcho last. Seems to work best this way and the repeats don't get clipped by the noise reduction.

EDITED for clarity.

You said Decimator twice.

[RobB]

Well, yes, I did say it twice. Decimator input1 n/r and a second channel, input2 for the FX feed. I wasn't clear, I fear.

LOL, classic.

[zorrow]

I've been using treble boosters since ever and, as some have already said, they work great when they're first in the chain -well, if you have a wah, they will be second.

[Montelovesco]

Back on the OT again. Thanks for the hints. I ran the thing at the end, but I will put it after my autowah tomorrow... We will see.

[Montelovesco]

Ok, I tried it. and what can I say - it did not work. At least not for me. I tried with different guitars and different amp setting. The treble best works best at the end of the chain. Maybe it is just because I and my ears are used to this. Anyway, it was with a try. I will post a pic from the board in the "Show your thing pedalboard"-thread...

^ and that

In a nutshell

is what it is all about

[Armitage]

Yeah, the booster has the most output... that'd why it's a booster... put it before most anything and you won't get the output.
