Love to hear your thoughts on essential pedal types and order of placement! This is new for me and I was going to go cheap...but that never happens!
Here is my current list of pedals:
BOSS TU-3 Tuner - (this can go anywhere, most suggested from all threads I read people prefer it after gains so no extra feedback but I have mine 1st and no issues)
Morley Volume Pedal - 1
Keeley Compressor Plus - 3
EHX Soul Food - 6
BOSS DS-1 Distortion - 5
noiseKICK FX Reagan Fuzz - 4
Gemini Chorus - 8
Walrus Audio Lillian Phaser - 2 for VH phase or before the chorus if not, also maybe before the compressor.
Wampler Faux Tape Echo V2 - 9
TC Electronics Hall of Fame 2 Reverb - 11 stereo out to 2 amps

Joyo De-Seed II - 10
Joyo American Sound - 7 (if you want to try and stack/boost the Soul Food into it)
