Good day!
I am working on creating a pedalboard. I picked up the Temple Audio Trio 28 recently, and have the following pedals on it in order by number (picture attached):
1. TC Electronic Ditto Looper **
2. JHS Clover Preamp ***
3. Boss EQ-200 ***
4. JHS Sweet Tea Distortion/Overdrive
5. Strymon Orbit Flanger
6. Strymon Ola Chorus/Vibrato
7. Earthquaker Grand Orbit ***
8. TC Electronic Flashback Delay
9. Strymon Big Sky Reverb
** The looper at the beginning is only for looping chords / phases to use while adjusting the settings of pedals further down the chain. The last pedal feeds into a Boss RC-505 Looper, which feeds into the amp.
*** Ordered but on backorder/in transit.
My questions are below if anyone can help:
1. The Boss EQ-200 is 10-band and has a Level slider as well. Can it serve fully as a preamp, making the JHS Clover entirely redundant?
2. My goal is to have a single all-in-one amplification solution with a neutral sound to make the gear be the sole source of sound generation, so I am looking for an FRFR PA or studio monitors. To go this route, and knowing that I don't use and amp modeler, are there any other types of pedals I should be looking at?
3. Is it detrimental or even bad to use overdrive with a non-tube speaker?
4. Any suggestions/feedback in general?
