I'm very new to the board and I'm learning to play guitar. I've just bought a Maz18, fitted a Brake-Lite and now have a Z-Drive (+ a few other pedals).
I'm really liking the Z-Drive and I'm putting together a pedal board with the Z-Drive, Keeley Seafoam Plus Chorus, Catalinbread Zero Point Flanger and Keeley Delay Workstation. I've got a "1-Spot" daisy chain (had it for a while) but I'm wondering three things:
1. Is the daisy chain going to do the job or should I get an isolated multi-supply (and if so, which?) 2. Is it best to put the guitar into the effects and then a lead out the other end and into the "high" or "low" input socket - OR - should I be using the effects in/out "loop" at the back of the amp? 3. I also have a base-model Cry-Baby - should this be part of the effects board or should it stand alone and be connected to the foot pedal input at the back of the amp?
Apologies if these are basic questions to those in the know, but I've asked a few people and got some very contradictory advice. So, I thought I'd ask people who have the same amp as I do. Here's hoping. Thanks in advance.

Keep the 1 Spot in your new gig bag. 2. You will want to run the guitar through the pedals and have you last pedal plug into the amp, either Hi or Low. 3. If you want to dive in then here goes: a. The Chorus and Delay should run into the effects loop b. The OD's and Wah and Flanger should act as a loop plugged into the Front end of the amp, or input.
4. The cry baby does not plug into the foot switch in the back, that jack is for the EQ ByPass Boost Pedal that comes with the amp.
Have fun,
I hope that helps
