What effects on your drumbox live?

Post by Quai34 »

Hi,
As you may know, I have bought recently a drumbrute Arturia and I'm very happy with it. I was wondering though if it could be useful to add guitar pedals like Parametric EQ and Compressor to give it more Punch and dial better snare or claps for example? If you do use some effects on yours, which effect type and which brand? I was thinking about the Empress effect EQ and Comoressor...
Last question do you put EQ first then Comp or the Opposite?
Thanks
Sincerely

Keep in mind that the effect pedals you use must be able to function with line level signals wich is higher than a guitar signal.

Pedals I have used with my keyboards and I know to work flawlessly are the TC Toneprint line and the Moogerfoogers.
I have seen people using Source Audie, Eventide, and Strymon pedals with ther synths.

Cheers!

No wrong or right way re: EQ or Comp first. For boosting I'd put the EQ 2nd, but generally, you would be 'cleaning up' the signal and presumably removing any unwanted frequencies with EQ first, and THEN compressing the signal. The Empress comp has a very good rep with guitar players, can't comment on drum machine use.

On my guitar peadboard, that my guitarist uses, I don't play guitar at all, I Have the TC SCF Stereo chorus, the original, the Mimik doubler, the Phaser, the flanger, the delay and the Hall of fame Reverb!!!! But the compressor is the Joemeek floor Q but I haven't had any drumbox since the 80's....So, that's why I was looking for infos....
So, thanks a lot for your comments.
