well really there isnt much of a way to do that sorry things always get a little messy honestly just remember zip ties are your best friend in this situation same thing goes when wiring a pedalboard except you also have shorter cables usually

If you mean where to put what pedal then unfortunately it's sometimes left up to you to experiment and see what's right for you however I'm sure some people here can give guidance as I've never used any of the gear you described but experimenting doesn't do any harm and is all part of the fun

You would got from your bass into the wireless transmitter, out of the wireless receiver into the tuner, out of the tuner into the svt3 and out of the svt3 into your cabinet. That's the way I would run it. Hope this helps.

NO,not where,more like what,input from the ampeg to the output on the wireless to the input on the zoom etc etc,how the hell do i wire this stuff,I got an audition for a top 40 country band tomoro night,been spending so much time learning the songs,and worrying about how my gear"looks"when I walk through that door,that I overlooked the most important thing,making my rig come to life.I have been sitting here for an hour and a half and I cant seem to get a peep out of this thing,there is no faulty stuff either,I tried it all on its own and its fine......

Wireless out into Zoom input, Zoom output into SVT3 input. If your having problems getting everything to work together, and you don't have time to figure it out, I would remove each item piece by piece and see which isn't working with the rest.

As for keeping your wires in order, tie wraps and some of these work great http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1...1#.UOj5WHcuI2w

You might want to go into the front of the SVT (from either tuner or Zoom if being used) to pick up the sound of the tubes in the pre-amp. Best of luck tomorrow.

+1 The signal you feed may also be too quiet at the effects loop, it will probably make the amp louder when plugged in at the main input.
