So I've been making a lot of noise lately - I don't think "ambient" is quite right but sure, why not - and what I'm looking for is a way to, once I've got a decent pad of noise going on (sometimes via the looper but more often via delay stacking), tweak the signal just enough to make it stand out over the pad, if that makes sense. I've contemplated an EQ, compressor, or volume pedal, but thought I'd court some advice from you knowledgeable people. So what would you try?
If it matters, my chain is more or less:
TU3>Sabbra Caddabra>Soothsayer>Shepherd>Mel9>Starlight>Phase 90>MXR Analog Chorus>Arion AD-10>DD3>Canyon>Rubberneck>DD5>RC3>Tera Echo>Afterneath>FX600>stereo amps (Gemini I/Katana).
Thanks in advance!
