Effects - When and How
I am having difficulty understanding and also kind of puzzled when it comes to using effects. I have read numerous articles about where the different effects are placed in the daisy chain order (Compressor, Distortion, EQ, Modulation, and Delay/Reverb).
My problem is the understanding when to and not to use them. As I understand Compression and some Reverb are used all the time. The other effects are used in relation to the sound or song one is trying to emulate. This would mean turning off/on the different pedals as one plays a song or set of songs.
Do I have the right conception in this process? Thanks for any help in this request.
