For years I've preferred to just plug a Strat into my Fender Blues Deluxe amp and work with the sound I get. But, I need more flexibility with the band I'm now in, so I bought an Ibanez Tubescreamer, & I've recently got a Dunlop wah-wah, which is fun.
The problem is that when I have a couple of pedals between my guitar and the amp, I get a noticeable volume drop - is this right? I have to turn up the volume or gain to get the same volume as when I plug straight into the amp.
The second matter is what order should the pedals go in? If I use a Seymour Duncan pickup booster (still not sure if I need this), the Tubescreamer, the wah, and the Fender PT100 tuner, which order should they go in? I was thinking pickup booster, then overdrive, then wah, then tuner, then amp. My amp doesn't seem to have an FX loop.
I'm powering them all with an old Frontline 5 way mains power supply.
The other thing I was thinking about was getting some sort of board to save having to gaffer tape each one to the floor. Any suggestions? I've never really paid attention to these things in the past!
Hope someone can help. Thanks.
