I'm new to modeling amps, effects HW, and tones. I have a Amplifi TT and Spider V 60 MKII and a PowerCab and looking for some guidance.
When creating my own tones, or modifying presets, or downloads, what's the recommended order or signal flow, if any. I've seen "recommendations" on the web from trusted sources like Sweetwater below that say:
Filters and EQ — wah, auto-wah, graphic, and parametric EQ
Compressor — FET, opto, VCA, tube, or digital
Boost — clean boost and/or buffer
Gain — overdrive, distortion, fuzz, etc.
Noise Gate — placed at this point in the signal chain because gain pedals are usually the noisiest
Volume Pedal — placed at this point in the chain to control the level feeding the amp without affecting the amount of input to gain pedals
Tuner
Modulation — phase shifter, tremolo, chorus, flanger, rotating speaker simulator, etc.
Delay — analog, digital, tape, etc.
Reverb — hall, room, spring, plate, etc.
AMP (FRFR)
After all that they say "experiment"!
But the presets on the Spider and Amplifi TT all vary in signal chain order with the Amp/Cab in various places in the chain.
What works best for classic R&R and R&B sound?
