Ideal way to wire...

[ba$$]

A turner, an autowah, a bass synth, a limiter, an octave pedal and a overdrive pedal.

Which would you reccomend I run between my bass and amp, and which would be ideal to put in the effects loop on the back of my amp head?

Thanks so much. I am seriously illiterate when it comes to this, and appreciate all the bass masters knowledge on this website!

All I can say is:
- Octave near front. It tracks better the cleaner the signal is.
- Limiter should be last if you are trying to avoid clipping/spiking your amp (unless you are specifically limiting the input to another pedal which I can't imagine doing)
- Tuner is usually best leading the chain, unless you need it to mute hissy pedals but you should get rid of the hissy pedals instead...
- Overdrive is normally near the front
- Autowah then bass synth / bass synth than autowah. They should react in very different ways depending on order.

So I would tuner -> octave -> overdrive -> autobasswahsynth -> limiter.

But pedal order is a very personal subject. You need to play around and find what works for you.

In most cases, pedals go in front of the amp, not in the fx loop. There are exceptions, and it won't hurt anything to put them in the loop to hear for yourself how it works/sounds, but just in general the fx loop won't be all that useful. It's typically meant for rackmount processors. There's more info about that in the FAQ linked in my sig.

Anything that works best when fed a wide dynamic range, like overdrives and envelope filters, should go near the front of the chain. Anything that works best with a less-dynamic input, like octavers and some synths, should go near the end of the chain. The limiter can either go in between those, or it can go at the end of the chain--whichever sounds better to you.

The tuner can go anywhere, but note that it will work best if you feed it a clean signal (not running through effects that are "on").

Thank you guys very much. I will mess around with the different placements.

Just to clarify, when you say "front of the chain", does that mean effect pedal closest to the bass input, or closest to the amp? I assume it means closest to to the bass.

Thank you.

Yes, front means closer to your bass.
