i have all my dirt at the end of the chain...but after last nights rehearsal session...i will put my delay at the end.
so my chain will be:
tuner > volume > comp > wah > phase > verb > fuzz > distortion > delay
Connect the guitasr to the output of my phaser, then the phaser input to the amp.

I use a newly fixed (yeah, found the problem - power supply solder connection) Ibanez cf-7.
Bad chorus, bad flanger. But put it in whacked and it has a cool special effect I use for a clean part of a song I'm writing.
Yeah I use to run it like that for ages...but these days i hardly ever use phase with a dirty sound, its always on clean tones. actually...i dont use anything with my dirt sound, except the wah...which is why i put my dirt at the end.
the only reason i want to put delay at the end is for parts of songs where the distorted sound rings out and i go into acoustic...i like to hit delay on the last distorted note and let the delay pedal trail it out as i swich to clean and start my clean part.
sometimes i try a delay in one stereo channel too, again at 100% wet or very light dry blended in

Actually, it was guitar - phaser (out) - phaser (out) - amp (in). Worked lovely until I switched the phaser on............
On the sounds of fucking silence.
2 hours later me and photek worked out what was wrong.

To the op, I'll post a clip - it's a cool effect, and immediately inspired a minimalist clean idea to go right before a "drop".
that's because the wah is acting as a boost on certain frequencies.
Put a wah after a mid scooped pedal (IE completely scooped no mids) and you'll have volume at the bottom end and top end and nothing in the mid-range of the sweep.

It's not so bad at high volume, but I guess the amp starts compressing a bit.
