  • Help setting up a rack

    I would try compressor -> EQ -> maximizer. What other preamps/effects are you using?
    I want REAL change. I want dead bodies littering the capitol.

      Its a PA Rack. So I don't remember how I have everything chained. I do have a Midiverb 4 that I use as well but that runs throught the Effect Loop.

      Tim are you sayig compressor first? I always thought it was compressor last.

        in a PA rack, i would think a maximizer and and external EQ would be redundant. i would run mixer -> compressor -> EQ or maximizer. i say hit the compressor first because that will "normalize" your signal and even everything out. i would hit the EQ last to add back the frequencies that the compressor can squash.
        GEAR:

        some guitars...WITH STRINGS!!!! most of them have those sticks like on guitar hero....AWESOME!!!!

        some amps...they have some glowing bottle like things in them...i think my amps do that modelling thing....COOL, huh?!?!?!

        and finally....

        i have those little plastic "chips" used to hit the strings...WHOA!!!!

          Maximizer and EQ are completely different, definitely not redundant. Maximizer would go last as it restores alot of what you lose running through all that other gear...and use it judiciously.

            I have to agree with Rupe. The sonic maximizer and an EQ are very different each has their own unique advantages. No matter how well I eq my rig the sonic maximizer adds that extra clarity and bottom end. I will try a few different ways and see what sounds best to me.
