No response required - he said to his pedal

I go tuner to wah to dirt to modulation to delay to reverb into a clean amplifier.
If the amplifier has a good reverb I use that instead of the reverb in the pedal.

Me too(my only exception being a phaser pedal I occasionally use up front).
Where would you put a compressor/sustainer pedal in that chain?
(I put mine in a trade for PA gear in 1996.)
 
IMG_0791.JPG IMG_5663.JPG The utility type pedals go first in my chain. EQ, tuner, volume and it starts then with my Wah Wah pedal and then the as they say color pedals. Delay, reverb and those that mess with the amplitude of the sound waves. An analog pattern, and they do not turn it into a digital saw tooth wave. Then the over drive stuff. I stack those at times. The dirt pedals are at the end of the loop. Sometimes this is great and others not so cool. I have the two MXR Echoplex pedals in front of the amp like they did in the 1970 with the real Echoplex tape delay untils. I have the MXR tape into the Echoplex Delay pedal and into the Echoplex Pre Amp. Those pedals are great and the delays I have in the loop. I change this a lot depending on what song I am working on. There is no one size fits all pedal board design. Amps and guitars change it all. The usual crap reson, no two snow flakes and a like junk.

I would do this.
Tuner - compressor - wah - phaser - dirt - chorus/flanger - delays - reverbs.
In the case of multiple dirts, the lower gain one into the higher gain one.
In this configuration the delay will noticeably thicken the chorus when both are activated.
Another option is chorus between delay and reverb so the delays swirl in unison with the dry signal.

Yeah I was asking for Robert's benefit. I'm not adding a compressor. I'm perfectly happy with my chain.
Robert was asking where to put his wah...

I liked hearing Reaper a few times. I wish I had a pedal like that when I was in to that sort of thing. Now I prefer that kind of dynamics work be done at some point after the microphone in front of the speaker...but I would revisit that stance if I had one of those presented to me.
