    Wet Effects BEFORE Amps

    its definitely a preference.. if you do it right, the delays and reverbs push and naturally compress the amp a little harder and you get a very cool effect if thats what you're looking for. I personally love it.

    What External Pedals Are You Using With your Axe-Fx?

    a xotic SP comp & a wampler dual fusion. although i'm thinking of selling the dual fusion for a neunaber reverb so I can drop about 35 CPU% by taking my whole shimmer verb line out of my patches. Then i'll have plenty of room for 2 ODs. Anyone want a dual fusion? ;)
