DIY Instrument Pedal Signal Chain Optimizer

How it helps

Use it for a focused task

Includes instrument-specific templates, noise/impedance notes, and common swap comparisons. Start by picking your instrument and amp type from the dropdowns.

Then add pedals from the catalog or type custom names. Drag to reorder or use the auto-optimize button.
