help with pedal placement.

[man-in-moon]

i know this has been asked many times. but i have been trying for 2 hours to arrange my pedals. i know i like my wah before my distortion so thats not a problem. i have just never had this many time based effects at one time. this is how i have them run now guitar > vox wah > tubescreamer > micro vibe > phase 90 > boss super chorus > boss flanger > amp. so far they all sound pretty good this way. i was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to get the best sound out of each one.

Your pedal order seems correct IMO, but then again there is never one way to arrange them. My general philosophy is wah -> dirt -> modulation.

Do you use any of the effects together? Like, at the same time? That's something you have to think about, and then of what type of effect you want the effects to have on the other effects. If you don't use any of them together it doesn't really matter where you put them...

I've got dirt boxes both sides of the wah pedal just for different textures. Its really up to you, trust your ears with this.

Yeah, I like to put the wah after the distortion so as to wah my distortion rather than distort my wah. I also think it sounds better because that's just how it goes in my setup.
