This page focuses on core tone, particularly distortion tone. Effects placement and impact are discussed individually on their own page, for each kind of effect. While effects are referenced below, they are only considered for how they affect core tone when they are set to be as transparent as possible.
The complete signal chain for a typical rig is
Live/Recording Hands > Guitar > Pickups > Stomps > Pre-Amp > Effects > Power Amp > Cabinet/Speakers > Microphones > Microphone Pre-Amps > PA/DAW
Jamming/Practice Hands > Guitar > Pickups > Stomps > Pre-Amp > Effects > Power Amp > Cabinet/Speakers
Every stage has a significant impact on the tone, and each stage is joined by cables which can also influence the tone.
