My next project
I found something that absolutely needs to be in my studio: a stand-alone tube driven spring reverb unit! Can be integrated into a guitar or ran as outboard analog gear for your DAW. Hope your electronics assembly skills are up to par! It’s a build it yourself kit, but comes with everything you need; also makes the price significantly cheaper! https://www.modelectronics.com/product/wave

@Ronald Parada it’s a steal for what it is! Mod electronics has a bunch of pedal kits and other stuff too

@Ronald Parada lol right! They have the tanks available for separate purchase as well. The problem is the circuit to drive it

@Shawn Kirkham if you’re looking for the ultimate scale book, check out the guitar grimoire series. They have a scales and modes book that is (quite literally) very scale possible. It’s…a bit much at times lol

Effects loop
Wanted to check here in the group about inputting a preamp pedal (to bypass the amps pre amp), and a noise gate into the effects loop. I have watched countless YouTube videos and can only find one or the other in the effects loop. My question is: Which would go first into the effects loop? The pre amp pedal or noise gate? Figure the amp is going to need the noise gate in the effects loop once the preamp pedal is installed…(lots of gain). Sorry, hope this makes sense. I have never used an effects loop but do know the just of where other pedals might work best in the chain. I would be using the 4 cable method for the noise gate. The preamp pedal and noise gate part just stumps me. Any help appreciated!

the problem with putting a noise gate after a gain stage is that it may not open and close at the right time because the signal is being amplified before it hits the gate. You have to set the threshold higher to get it close over your raised noise floor and if you do some lighter picking, it may not open to allow it. Plus the majority of the noise generated from your pedals is coming from the guitar and the unbalanced cable (or the amp itself…), you just don’t notice until you have gain. Noise gates should reduce the signal low enough that what is amplified by the gain pedal is quiet enough to not be noticed. I have always placed my gate as close to my guitar as possible so I can set the threshold as low as possible to preserve lighter playing dynamics. I also tend to only buy noise gates with effects loops built in (MXR Smart Gate, EHX Silencer, Revv G8) so when the gate triggers, it actually shuts off the loop and then reduces the signal on your clean signal so you get as close to silence as is possible in a guitar rig.

Project Guitar Update
I ended up finding a used Jackson seven string for a steal! This thing rips!
