quick effects chain question

[blindedbysilence]

Quick question. I've never used my effect loop on my amp and really don't know what to run through it. So help me out with the order of my effects, I know there are different opinions, and which go before the amp and which go in the loop.
Peterson Strobe tuner
Boss DD-5
MXR M108
Ibanez TS808
Dunlop Crybaby
Boss OC-2
Dunlop Q-Zone
I think this is all of my effects. If I have anymore I'll post them later. Any help you can give me is appreciated.

Re: quick effects chain question

basically, any overdrives/distortions are front of amp stuff, same as wahs. tuners can go either, but if its in front, you can switch guitars if it has a mute when you tune. delays would go last before return on your amps effect loop. chorus and stuff like that would go before it...Pitch stuff usually sounds better in the effects loop. I don't know what half of those are, but thats the standard guidelines

Since it's true bypass, I use the Peterson between my pedals and the amp input. That way if a chord goes bad or one of your pedals fail you can hit the tuner and have silence while you fix the problem.

I also don't recognize all your pedals but agree that you should probably run guitar into the wah wah > overdrives and/or distortions > tuner > amp input.

In the effects loop I would run delay 1st, then reverb (if you have it) and tremolo last.

You can experiment with phasers and choruses to see what works best, but I prefer them between the OD and Dist. boxes and the amps input.
