Pedalboard chain sugestions

[Lux84]

I have the following chain set for my Blackstar HT-5 amp:

In front of amp guitar into input of Boss NS-2 -> Digitech Hardwire Distortion - > Bad Monkey OD ( NS-2 here kinda eliminate unwanted noise and hum from those two pedals.. )

Then from output of NS-2 -> Boss Digital Delay DD-3 ( yes, it sounds better in front of amp.. ) -> Behringer Tuner -> into amp.

Boss Loop Station RC-3 into fx-loop.

Is this correct or there could be some better options ?

I would put the Bad monkey before the Hardwire Distortion.

I agree with the OD before the distortion. I like my delay in the loop. With my HT-5 I have my Wah to my OD, then into the amp. In the loop in have my delay/reverb and an EQ pedal last. That being said, go with what sounds good to you, there is no right or wrong answer.

Thanks for that suggestion i will put it that way

Well, i found out Boss DD-3 Delay don't sound good with distortion in fx loop on that amp, it does sound cool with clean channel, but distortion: not. so i put it off fx loop, tried it in front, and there is much better sound in front of it with medium to sometimes high distortion which i prefer:scratchch

I have the older version of HT-5 without reverb.

I would also put the tuner right after the guitar.

Re: Pedalboard chain sugestions

take the noise suppressor and the tuner out of the chain. Turn the pedals off between songs and use a head stock tuner. This will remove two extra bits of circuitry from your chain which will make your rig more responsive and richer to play thru.
If you absolutely have to have a tuner pedal, put it first in the chain and as jocelyn said, put the low gain drive before the high gain drive.
