All my children

I decided a while back to sell off all my "boutique" pedals and go simple/mainstream. So happy I did:

How's the Phaser before the Overdrive working for you?
Have you flipped them?
How about a Phaser in the effects loop?
 
I'm curious about how much money is invested in the gear in the original
OP picture. A stunning display of "Gear Acquisition Syndrome" at work.
We all suffer from this to greater or lesser extent, or we wouldn't be here.
(we'd be upstairs playing music on one or two instruments, through one or
maybe two amps, using two or three pedals).

I have a bunch of pedals I've tried out, but am not using now. I should sell
them. But isn't it funny how I just don't. For Electric guitar, I'm down to a simple board
with just these:

For Acoustic, I only use chorus and reverb:

Love the TC electronics HOF reverb unit... can you tell? To my ear
that one sounds better than any amp's onboard 'verb ...except maybe the old Fender unit in my old
Fender Twin that got stolen. That was a righteous reverb for sure. maybe 'cause the amp was so
clean clean clean. I had NO pedals when I was using that amp. My tuner was the human ear.
*grins

I have a number of pedals I've tried for my bass, but use NONE right now.
Because I don't need any. I'm playing through a Roland Cube Bass 60, and it has great
f/x, of which I use the minimum settings possible. Just turn it on till the light comes on, then turn it
backwards till the light just goes off, then till it just comes on... that's plenty for chorus and delay.
Just a touch. I should sell all of my bass pedals fer shure... for me, that would inspire melodrama:

I settled on the pedal order after a lot of experimentation. The phasing is a bit more subtle in front of the OD, which I prefer, and I really don't like the way it sounds in the effects loop.

My guess is that you already know what I am about to tell you, but in investigating this cool little pedal, I learned that although it only has one reverb selection at a time, you can load any one from TC (and one other place) into it that you want

 
And that is all before you get to the software...serious software.

I am "Kemper curious" but have been hesitant to jump on. It is certain to become an obsession that could occupy years of my life

Trust me when I say you are RIGHT! Just accumulating and trying to sort through the Thousands of Amp models I have will take me forever.

That is not including delving into all the set up tweaks, effects and such...it could be a full time job!

BUT, it sounds fantastic and it's fun!

I also had a Helix which was just as fun, but much different interface. I was going to keep both, but Id never learn
how to use one with two around. In the end the Kemper suited my at home needs better...

YEs......I know I would end up smashing it with hammer ----so I refrain from even looking into purchasing.......the VOX stomplab had me wanting to jab a fork in somebodies eye ----the Kemper would certainly send me into homicidal rage and mass murder.

guitar---2 pedals---amp---done
Bass--no pedals--amp---done

no cleaning up blood, no needing alibi's or bail money..... the world is better this way

I am going to send you a Fuzz to stick in the bass chain and mess your whole world up :p

I just choked while laughing after reading eSGEe describing the hammer and eyeball fork incident.
