Howdy everyone - New to the board!
Would anyone here offer their opinion on the order in which my signal should be routed thru my pedalboard?
Here are my tools:
Boss TU-2 tuner Fulltone Fat Boost (on all the time, seems to make up for my wireless) Sparkle Drive Fulltone Fulldrive II MXR phase 90 Visual Sound H2O (for Echo) Wah pedal (don't have one yet)
I play a strat through MAZ 18 2-10 combo.
Thanks in advance!

To me it all looks good except I think a wah sounds most natural before any kind of distortion or overdrive, unless you want to play Shaft!

I agree with Billy. The wah should be in front of the OD's. I run my boost pedal after the OD's. I just prefer the tone I get. Some people may argue this issue.

I have read, not experienced, that the Boss tuner sucks some tone. Some say not, but have you tried the same setup without it in the chain? Maybe between the tuner and the wireless you are losing some tone. I would experiment with the location of the two boosts. Maybe one in front to drive the fullldrive and one before or after the echo. I had to do this with my setup for a while till I found the best arrangment. It's like going on a road trip with kids and a dog. Maybe some don't "get along" with another side by side. I have a Beano Boost, and it seems like it could go anywhere, yet it made some noises in a few spots. Let your ear be your guide. You know I had such an issue with my arrangment that I have all 1' long cables between the pedals as to allow me to have foot access to the switches. The longer cables also let me put them in an order that is not linear. I mean to say that the cables go under some pedals and back. One major reason for this is the Budda Phatman and the Memory lane, they are both HUGE!!! Each one is over 7"wide, and the Phatman is about 8-9" deep. I don't have the Memory Lane yet, it's ordered and there is room right up front on the medium pedaltrain. Good Luck
