effects order

[church]

need a bit of help please.

recently started putting an effects pedal board together.

at the moment the order is; bass-tuner-wah-chorus-phaser-octivider-graphic eq-preamp.

i have just bought a delay pedal and am not sure where to put it.

would it be ok between the octivider and graphic?

your opinions will be gratefully appreciated.

It all depends on what sound you like/are looking for. If it was me, I'd go:

Bass > Wah > Octivider > Phaser > Chorus > Delay > EQ > Tuner > Preamp

Someone will be along in a minute to tell you something completely different

well, two mins

i'd wonder whether the octaver should go before the wah, so it sees a nice full-range signal to process.

BUT, if it gives you the sound you want...go with that !l half the fun of fx pedals is changing the order to see what happens.

I think the only golden rule ill try and stick to with effects is to put stuff into an FX looper of some description.

Apart from that, its all your choice. Some orders will have different results, some might have none IMO. I do like to have a delay at both ends of my chain though.
