Multi FX BOX

[danieldomes]

I am thinking of undertaking a new project and this is what i had in mind

A multi fx box with 5 complete fx that can be chose alone or together

- Boss Ce-2 Chorus
- Tycro Octavia
- Stage Center Reverb
- Delay
- Tremolo 

I am going to house this in one one enclosure.  ------------------ I also have a modded v847 and a fuzz face clone in the fx loop but not in the pedal

3 questions...

1. HOw should i  order these in the box
2. suggestions for good analog tremolo and delay....
3.  What will I have to do to make this work?
4. What do u think?

I'll stick to the 'what do you think' part:

That's a big room you're playing in, with all that reverb, chorus and delay. Why not downgrade that a little bit? In general I only use either reverb or delay, sometimes together. I'd take the amp's reverb, keep the octavia, delay and tremolo (if you must  ) and kick out the chorus. But that's just my personal opinion. It's YOUR multi-effect, so if it works for you, do it! Maybe you can use the free space for something else?

Orderwise this seems logical to me:
Octavia -> Tremolo -> Delay -> Chorus/Reverb (sincerely, I'd choose between one of the two).

Take note that I am by no means an FX expert

i would order it like this:

Tycro Octavia > Boss Ce-2 Chorus > Tremolo > Delay > Stage Center Reverb


i don't know how often i would play them all at once, though.  i love reverb, but i would re-think the stage center in a multi-fx box.  you know that needs a reverb tank (big spring box), right?  i would just take the board out of a commercial pedal for the reverb.

1. My choice would be Tycro Octavia > Boss Ce-2 Chorus > Tremolo > Delay > Stage Center Reverb also.  Here's some links on effects ordering

2.  Tremulus Lune perhaps

3. Here's a few links to multieffects others have done.

4. Mine is coming together nicely.  I'd recommend a multifx box to anyone.
