order my effects + bonus question!

[nmancusi10]

Alrite guys, you know I always trust your judgement, so how bout some advice about the best way to order (arrange) my burgeoning pedal board. Effects are:
-Moogerfooger 12-stage phaser
-Moogerfooger low-pass filter/ envelope filter, mostly used to cut high frequencies but sometimes used for the funkiness
-EH double muff (basically a gritty OD/fuzz, does a decent job of obtaining the mild "tube-like distortion" that everyone talks about, but can murder the lows)
-MXR carbon copy delay, which i mostly use to add some depth with a slap-back echo.

My main bass and amp are an 04' 62 reissue precision, and a GK1001rb. I play blues-based rock with an edge, a la pearl jam and kings of leon.
I usually like a very deep almost muddy sound to carry the bottom, but when i have to step up into the mix i like a geezer-butler type snarl.

Bonus question: what are the advantages of utilizing the effects loop on my amp? Should I?

I really appreciate any help, thanks guys

ummmm

bass>moog lpf>little big muff> moog phaser> mxr carbon copy> amp

i'd buy a dual looper for the moogs since they seem to be noisey units with a ****y bypass.

I nearly always say that effects loops can suck it, but in the case of Moogerfoogers, I've found them to be quite useful. Definitely helps with bypass issues, and while I've bitched about said bypassing in the past, they really are misunderstood as opposed to being bad I suppose.

The correct pedal order is the order they sound best. Experiment.
