Matchbox?
Sorry to hijack this answered question but I have a question about the drawing.
What is the match box and what does it do?
I searched and the first few hits were an amplifier simulator of a Matchless amplifier.

You can also place the volume pedal LAST in the chain which will then control or "duck" the trails on your delay so that that you get some control on the effect instead of ringing out the same way, when you shut the volume off the delay goes with it. Doing it this way does not mess with the gain structure of any pedals after the pedal.

Judd, by last meaning before the amp.Judd Pipes wrote:When you say pedal last do you mean last to the steel or the amp.thanks
Yes that is also true Lane. It all depends what you are going after. You can gauge how much of the delay/verb trails occur. As with mixing songs, it is often done that verbs and delays are ducked by a vocal for instance so that the delay trails don't overwhelm the vocal where the vocal controls how much of its own delay is heard in a sidechain connection so that when more vocals are going on, many lyric lines, it doesn't get muddied by too many repeats of itself. This can be used to an advantage as it often is.Lane Gray wrote:Yes, but like reverb, delay gives the illusion of space, and putting it before the volume pedal makes the last note seem "tighter" than all before
Here is a clip demonstrating all the ways.
