How To: Order Your Guitar Pedals Correctly For Killer Tone
怎么为效果器排序得到迷人的音色
The piece of the guitar tone puzzle that I will be discussing here is the best order for your guitar pedals in the signal chain.
我今天在这里讨论的是单块的最优排序。
Most common method
通常采用的方法
When ordering your guitar pedals, you want to do so in such a way that preserves the function and tone of each guitar pedal. Changing the placement of a guitar pedal in the signal chain of your guitar rig can drastically change your guitar tone when you stomp on that bad boy, and can be good or bad depending on the sound you are trying to achieve.
当我们在进行单块的排序,我们希望保留每一个单块的功能和音色。改变单块在信号链中的顺序将极大的改变音色。音色的好坏取决于我们想得到什么样的信号。
Followed by many guitar techs and players, this is the most commonly seen order for guitar pedals, starting with the guitar side of the signal chain, and ending at the amplifier:
根据吉他技师和吉他手的经验,本文介绍一种最常用的排序方式,从吉他一侧开始,止于放大器一侧。
1.Your guitar
吉他
2.Tuners: Although tuners are safe to place anywhere in the signal chain, try to make it the first pedal in the chain, so it receives the completely clean, unprocessed signal from your guitar.
调音表: 虽然调音表放在信号链中任何位置都是安全的,但是我们一般放置在信号链中的第一位,因此它所得到的信号是未经处理的原始信号。
3.Filters: Here is where you place your wah pedals, auto-wahs, envelope filters, and (sometimes) phaser pedals. These effects depend highly on the dynamics of the signal, so we want these effects to be as close to the unprocessed signal as possible.
滤波器: 这个位置我们一般放置哇音,自动哇音,包络滤波器以及一些移相单块。这些效果很多程度取决于信号的动态,所以我们希望这些效果能尽可能接近于未经处理的信号(动态)。
4.Compressors: Placing a compression pedal here will even out the dynamics, and provide a smoother, consistent tone for the rest of the effects in the chain to work with.
压缩: 在此放置压缩可以平均化动态,提供一个更平缓,持续的,可被后续单块所处理的延音。
5.Distortion/Overdrive/Fuzz: Unless you want some really wacky tones, it is highly recommended that you place your distortion, overdrive, and fuzz pedals before any modulation and time-based effects.
失真/过载/法兹: 除非很古怪的声音,我们强烈推荐在此放置失真,过载,法兹,然后放置调制(合唱等)以及基于时间的效果。
6.EQ: EQ’s are often used to shape the tonal character of distortion/overdrive/fuzz pedals, so it is only logical to place them right after these effects. Another common use of an EQ pedal is quick and easy volume boosting during a solo or standout part within a song.
均衡:我们通常用EQ来塑造失真/过载/法兹的音色特点,因此把均衡紧跟在他们后面符合逻辑。均衡的另一个用途是在一首歌的solo或者需要突出的部分快速增加音量。
Pitch-shifting: Pitch-shifting pedals work best with compressed signals, so it should certainly appear after your compressors and distortion pedals.
移调:移调在处理压缩后的信号表现最优,因此里所应当在压缩和失真单块后。
Modulation: This is where you should place your choruses, flangers, and (sometimes) phasers. Modulation pedals seem to function best anywhere after the distortion/overdrive pedals in the signal chain.
调制:这里我们应该放置合唱,弗兰格,有时放置一些移相。调制类效果器似乎在过载/失真后的信号链的任何位置都能发挥最大作用。
Volume: Any pedals that alter the volume level of your guitar signal (volume pedal, noise gates, limiters, tremelos, etc) should be placed towards the end of your signal path, so it affects the levels of all previous pedals simultaneously.
任何改变音量的单块,如音量踏版,噪音们,限幅,颤音等,都应该放在效果链的末端,因此他们能同时处理经过先前单块的信号的电平。
Delay: The purpose of delay pedals, much like reverb, is to simulate an environment’s response to your guitar sound. Therefore, it should be placed at the end of your chain so it can capture all the different effects that are going on.
延迟:和混响相近,用来模拟环境中对于吉他声音的振动响应。因此,应该放在信号链末端,用以捕捉到所有的吉他信号效果。
11.Reverb: Reverb always sounds best placed at the very end of your signal chain, right before the amplifier. If you have any volume pedals before your reverb, then it will not affect the reverb, allowing it to decay naturally even after you have cut the signal from the guitar.
混响: 混响通常连在信号链最末端变现最优,恰好在放大器前端。如果在混响前有音量踏版,这不会对混响有影响。即使我们已经切断了吉他的输入信号,吉他声音也能自然衰减。
12.Your amplifier
放大器
Robert Keeley, maker of the famous Keeley Compressor pedal (and many more), has come up with an acronym that will help you remember the most common order of guitar pedals in the signal chain:
RK, Keeley压缩单块的制作者,编了一个顺口溜方便大家记忆单块的顺序:
Which Chain Of Effect Pedals Makes Life Easy?
Which (Wah) Chain (Compressor) Of (Overdrive) Effect (EQ)
Pedals (Pitch) Makes (Modulation) Life (Levels) Easy (Echo)?
