NPD: Surfybear Compact in pedal chain?

Evan

I have a new Surfybear Compact arriving today and I’m not sure where to put it on my pedalboard. I’ve got one reverb/tremolo pedal in the form of a Keeley Hydra, which I still intend to use for room and plate reverb, and tremolo, of course, so I’d be very interested to know where some of you fine folks would stick it - before or after the Hydra?

I'd personally place it after but try both. There are no hard and fast rules, and let your ears be the judge !

Initially I plan to put it last, as you say, the thing is that with the Hydra you can very easily swap the order of the reverb and tremolo - tremolo  into reverb sounds different to reverb into tremolo, different sounds for different occasions, with the Surfybear, it’ll probably just stay where it’s put. Do you have a Surfybear?

And that’s where it is right now (for now).
