A standard path:

amp < looper < reverb < tremolo < echo < microtron < overdrive < compressor < wah < guitar.

If something sounds weird, start shuffling 'em around.

Bari nailed it.

But I will add, experiment a little. You never know....

Swap the Micro and echo, or the verb and trem. You never know!

First responder has the ideal starting point... Experiment from there. Just keep in mind with the looper, anything that is placed after it will not be part of the loops when you record them. Best to put it last.

^^^Pretty much this?^^^

Obviously it's going to come down to personal taste in end but this layout would be pretty typical...

Just my opinion here but I really think you should just remove that Wampler Ecstasy, stick it into a box, & then sell it to me super cheap???

LOL... I've been looking at & putting bids on them all morning long. What a great drive pedal, & it's about the closest thing to actual Dumble Drive your can get for under a freaking college education! Plus, like most of Mr. Wampler's pedals, it can do much, much, more!

I was checking out this super nice little hand built Boutique 6V6 combo at a local music store a few weeks ago and the owner put one in front of it for me & I pretty much instantly fell in love with it! If he wasn't asking twice what I could pick one up online for I definitely would have walked out with the thing. The amp was pretty darn nice as well, unfortunately $8,600 is a bit over my budget!

LOL, maybe Santa will buy it for my stocking this year? I have been extra good!!!

I always put the looper at the end, and the trem before the echo. But it is really up to you (as long as the looper is last :).

I love the wampler ectasy but man I was at this dudes house and he had like 8 amps and maybe 50 pedals. We played them all and hours later he asked me what was the best item and I said it was the super hard on by ztex and he said it was also his .when press the pedal you really dont hear something huge but when you turn it off its like wow what happen to the great sound.Did the off on thing bunch of times and it seems to really enhance the warmth of the tube amps . gave a few hints for a xmas gift for me .I never ask or get gifts because always getting stuff for wife and kids and they said one year will will hook you up with something nice so maybe this is the year.In years past I have sold my guitar pedals expensive amps and guitars to get them stuff and thats why I got a few pedals to replace the ones i sold
