Guitar - wah wah pedal - baloney pedal - angle change pedal - amp - furnishings bend with choir and reverb - apostle cabinet
The guitar cable should be continued abundant to airing about on date with. But it should never be added than 25 anxiety in length, back it's an asymmetric cable* (longer lengths will abase your complete quickly). Maybe 20 anxiety is a acceptable length. However, back you accept a attic pedal setup, you can use this to your advantage to abbreviate your cable length.
