Figure out my Effect Loop Chain

Post by Dawdy »

i sold my crappy effect board and picked up some pedals. what is the best way to chain them all together?

wah pedal
boss sd-1 overdrive (using as a gain boost)
boss dd-3 delay
boss ge-7 eq
boss tu-2 tuner
boss ns-2 noise suppressor

3 of the pedals i dont have in my posession yet, but this is how i was running everything:

Guitar --> Wah --> SD-1 (using as a gain boost) --> Amp (Peavey Valveking 212) --> Amp FX Send --> Delay --> Amp FX Return


would this be right:

Guitar --> Tuner --> Wah --> SD-1 (using as a gain boost) --> Amp (Peavey Valveking 212) --> Amp FX Send --> Noise Suppressor --> EQ --> Delay --> Amp FX Return

I would go tuner > eq (although this could be useful anywhere) > overdrive > wah > delay > noise suppressor > amp. You might find that you can get good results with some of the stuff in the effects loop, but personally I probably wouldn't stray far from that order.
