Between flanger, phaser, and chorus. I know some people swear by putting phaser or flanger in front of their dirt. But for me, with an MXR Micro Flanger, it was just too subtle in front of my dirt pedals. I just obtained an MXR Phase 95, and currently have after dirt with my flanger. They’re both going into front of amp, which I do have on the dirty channel, but with low gain. And my chorus is in the loop along with delay and tremolo.
Right now I’m running phaser early, fuzz>phaser>dirt. Then chorus and flange are right before delay and reverb. I usually only use one, two at a time at most. Everything in front of amp. I’m relatively new to the modulation game, and still dialing it in, but so far I’m getting the sound in my head this way, and def prefer phaser before dirt. I like the subtle thing.
BTW thanks for making this community whoever
So far every reply is phaser > dirt > flanger. Do you ever run the chorus with either of the other two?
So my chorus and flange come from the deco, so I can’t run them simultaneously, besides doing the auto flange for small passages, which sounds great btw.
Usually if I’ve got phaser going, it’s alone, or with some very very subtle chorus as a sweetener/thickener.
