Order of Pedals

[amt7565]

I recently sold my digital amp and now busy buying new pedals and stuff. I like to know what everyone recommends in terms of Pedal order:

Guitar-->distortion--->reverb---->delay---->chorus--->THD_Univalve ?

There are no rules on effects order. You won't break any pedals by putting them in a 'wrong' order. In fact, experimenting is the best way to learn, and in doing so, you can come up with many unusual and interesting sounds. There is, however, a typical order of effects that I've listed below.

1.Fliter Effect (Phaser/Wah)
2.Compressor
3.Overdrive/Distortion
4.Equalizers
5.Pitch Effects
6.Modulation Effects (Flanger/Choous)
7.Level Controllers (Tremolo/Volume/Limiter/Noise Gate/Panning etc)
8.Echo Effects (Delay/Reverb)

No real rules. Experiment all you want. I'd probably do this most of the time, though:

Guitar-->distortion--->delay---->reverb---->THD_Univalve

No chorus. Chorus is evil.

Reverb should go last. You don't want to delay the reverb tail, might make it sound all muddy.
