here is the think:
I want a pedal train with the following pedals
Harp Delay
Harp Octave
Harp Attack
Tone+
Boss DD-3
Micro POG
Line Rotomachine
This is the sequence i have elected as the best:
Mic
A/B Box (as an on/off switch)
Harp Delay (always on delay)
Harp octave
Effect loop pedal
Loop 1 - Micro POG -> Line 6 Rotomachine
Loop 2 - Boss DD-3 (looooooong delay)
Tone+
Harp Attack
DI Box
Amp or PA
With this setup I can play with PA (harp attack and DI at the end), guitar amps (Tone+ at the end) and my harp amp (harp delay mostly)
The quation are:
1. Is the sequence too long? I didn't noticed tone sucking and the tone's being great but, i'd like to have your impressions.
2. Any other sugestions for sequence?
3. Does any of you have any expering with a pedal train like this or quite like this?
Any comments are great.
Regards.
Leo

Generally speaking, delays work best last in chain before the DI box. There are no hard and fast rules so long as everything works reliably and sounds good, but I don't see any advantage to feeding a delayed signal to other processors/effects.
If you leave the delay(or reverb) on all the time, (which is what i do) i don't consider it an effect, but part of the sound reinforcement. Anyway, you want it at the end of the chain. Also, I'm not sure how the long delay sounds being in chain with the other delay. I don't use 2 delays myself, but if i did, I'd use one or the other (at the end of the chain) but not both at the same time.
MicroPog, Line 6 and Boss are NOT true bypass, but you have them isolated in a loop so they shouldn't degrade tone when disengaged. You sure have a lot of distortion boxes.
i don't know how much you play out live in public, but the more gear you have the more problems you will have and the harder it is to set up and tear down. The fewer gizmos the better. But if you are going to use an effects chain this elaborate, put everything on an appropriate pedal board with a power supply or a One Spot and have everything velcroed and zip tied in place so all the connections stay put and you you don't need forever to set up before you play.

Depending on the microphone you are using, I would put the Tone+ pedal first in the line as it matches the impedance of the input signal.
What sort of harp amp are you plugging this stuff into?
