Place these pedals in your preferred order please

NelsonP

Looking for the collective 'Wisdom of The Fretboard'. What order should I put the following pedals in

Wah
EHX Pitchfork
EHX Soul Food
EHX Big Muff
EP Booster
Compressor
IBZ Tube Screamer
Modulation (Phaser)
Reverb
Delay

Philtre

Personally, and YMMV:

Wah
Compressor
Modulation (Phaser)
EHX Big Muff
EHX Soul Food
IBZ Tube Screamer
EHX Pitchfork
EP Booster
Delay

Reverb

• Compressor at the start, but I wouldn't have on the same time as Wah so can go before it.
• Phaser definitely before dirt
• Fuzz before drive, for me, but could be after it. (I don't have both on at the same time, so doesn't matter)
  
• I like the Pitchfork after the dirt, but it's also OK before it.
• Booster at the end.
• Delay before Reverb,

I know others will do it differently.

Or get a loop switcher!

Pitchfork
Wah
Comp
Ep boost (for gain/sustain boost)
soul food
Tube screamer
big muff
Ep boost (for vol boost)
delay
reverb

For me anyway. I find lower gain into higher gain works best for stacking drives. Wah and phaser can be more pronounced if after drives but I prefer them in front for a more subtle sound. Boost can go before drives to add gain and sustain or after to literally boost volume, pitch needs a clean signal to work glitch free - near the front, but perhaps after the compressor now I think about it. Delay before reverb sounds right to me, you can get some big ambient washes the other way around or having either before a gain pedal, but it gets murky for ‘normal’ playing. 

Experimentation is key!! For example I like trem right at the end after delay, and phasers before drive pedals despite received wisdom being to place modulation between drive and echo pedals...

This, and if possible put Phaser, Delay, and Reverb after the preamp.
