How to connect effects

Post by Terry Srader »

My steel has been put away from quite a while and lost my doc showing how to connect my equipment to effects.

I have the "Black Box" as well
Hilton pedal

Boss SE-50 effects:
OUTPUT: R_L(mono)
INPUT: R_L(mono)

Nashville 400 amps

I know in past that I was plugged into pre- and post- on back of 400s but have forgotten how they connect and dont want mess something up.

Thanks.

Guitar-Black Box

Whether you use the stereo effects controls what comes next.
If Stereo, then volume pedal- Boss mono in, stereo outs to each amp.

If Mono, I'd go from BB to one amp, use the pre-EQ patch to Boss, then Hilton, then back to the amp.

Then from the line out to the power amp in of amp 2, if blastage is required.

At least that's how I'd run it.
2 pedal steels, a lapStrat, and an 8-string Dobro (and 3 ukes)
More amps than guitars, and not many effects
