How To Setup Your Pedalboard For The BEST Tone

In this video, we will explore the intricacies of setting up your pedalboard for optimal sound quality. Each pedalboard is unique, which is why a performance demonstration is not included. Achieving great guitar tone is more about concepts than anything. Once the concept is clear, you're free.

Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, wiring up a board can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to deciding what order to put your pedals in. 30+ year guitar player, Nashville musician, writer (Premier Guitar, Frets) & tone-obsessive Sean Weaver shares his expertise on how to wire a pedalboard, create an optimal signal chain, and get the most out of your guitar effects whether analog, digital, or hybrid.

The video begins with very basic, exceedingly general guidelines that are intended to be adapted as your creativity develops. As the video progresses, you will discover various exceptions that inspire you to experiment and challenge those starting point/ground zero conventional guidelines. It's important to embrace the idea that, as you improve, you will naturally outgrow the teachings of your instructors. You're supposed to. Or put another way, in the words of Jeff Beck, "Things work out better by accident sometimes. But you can't organize accidents." Shift your focus from hearing with your eyes and start listening with your imagination and ears. By the end of the video, you'll have the knowledge and confidence to setup your pedalboard like a pro and unlock your full tone potential.
