Pedal board order?

[Camstone]

I am looking for some advice on the best sequence/order to arrange the pedals on my pedalboard. I am running through the effects loop on my Fender SuperSonic.

Pedals are: Chorus, Delay, Tremolo, Compressor, Looper and Wah.

Thanks!

If the super sonic has a pedal friendly loop,

guitar~ comp / trem / looper~ amp

loop~ chorus / delay

I've always put my trem pedal in the loop. Educate me!

Same here. I've always used the loop for modulation type effects. OD, compressors etc go into the front. Now I'm going to have to try it.  🤔

Wah, Comp to amp.  Loop send to either trem or chorus (you'll have to see what sounds better).  Then, go to the delay followed by the looper and return. 

I wouldn't discount Murkat's guidance though.  Try everything suggested to you.  You just never know.  The pedals themselves (and how they're powered), the cables, the amp and the quality of the loop complimented by the guitars you play will all determine the final "product".  

I know you didn't think you'd get a simple answer here!

well, my thought of~

Trem.depends what you want it to do, do you want it to pulse, chop, thump (?)

Looper. Do you want it to loop the guitar tone and then amp it, or loop the amped tone of the guitar.

(the ideal for a looper is have its own amp setup.)

All in all with all pedals is,

A. alter the sound of before it enters the preamp/ poweramp

B. alter the sound of the guitar / preamp before the power amp (loop).

No simple answer.

I'm old school 70's, 80's hard rock big rack full of toys head.

So, I am use to having, enjoy all modulation, delay, reverbs post preamp then into power amp.

I'd run the wah and compressor out of the loop completely. I think the common rule for effects order within the loop is modulation, then reverb, then delay.

Guitar -> Tuner -> wah -> comp -> o.d. -> amp -> loop out -> trem -> delay -> chorus -> return

 

seems to work well. I left a couple things out but that's basically how I run...

[it's me HHB]

Pedal in fx loop? I dunno, is the loop optimized for that level? Many are not
