Put it at (or near) the beginning of the chain. Mine doesn't sound too good with anything in front of it.

It does a lot of octave stuff and needs a cleanish signal to track right.

For now, I've got mine right after the tuner and filter, because the Auto Q is ( I think) analog. If my filter's digital, then the BSW goes before.

There's no real true "correct" place, but generally earlier or first in your chain is typical for synth pedals. However, I always recommend putting it everywhere just to see how it sounds, which will also help you learn about how the pedal works.

thanks for the replies i mainly wanted to know where to start because i know where everything else traditionally goes but i never knew where a synth pedal would traditionally go.

not that i follow the traditional pedalboard rules note that my fab echo is between two distortions but they are good place to start

I have mine as close to the beginning of my chain as possible, but it never really complained much when it was further down the line. It does track a bit better in the beginning.

I don't have a BSW but I put my Mark Bass Super Synth in the front of the chain, except for possibly compressor.
