    . Generally speaking, your preamp,drive and compression would be first, and delays and modulation efx would be at the end. Check YouTube for plenty of how to videos.

    Hi. There isn’t one, single answer to your question. The best thing is to experiment with what you have, and find out what works best for you. As the responder before me indicated, there are many posts and videos on the web that attempt to subjectively resolve pedal placement, but there are too many variables. Does your amp have an effects loop? Is it serial or parallel, or maybe you have both. Do any of your pedals have effects loops?

    For example, my Marshall JCM602 has both serial and parallel effects loops. I put pedals that do not have a wet/dry control in the parallel loop so that I can mix their output with my dry signal. Everything else goes in the serial loop. I use the amps spring reverb, so I don’t have to worry about where to place a reverb pedal, but I would think one would go somewhere at the end of signal chain since that’s where the effect naturally takes place yet, the Turnip Greens allows one to flip the Holy Grail Max and the Soul Food signal path, and placing the reverb first is interesting. Also, I don’t use any overdrive, fuzz, distortion pedals since that is what I use the OD channel on the amp for, but I am looking at the Ram’s Head reissue which I would probably put first in the serial loop, or possibly between the guitar and amp’s preamp valves.

    Keep it simple and experiment.
