I always put my fuzz before, but do what sounds best to you. Try adjusting the tones of them to see if you can get them to work together- most times, the best soloed fuzz tone and the best soloed filter tone don't make the best combination.

i like my fuzz before my filter

if i put it the other way, i find it too uncontrollable and not very usuable in my band

Anyone using Supercollider with filter? Could someone share the setting of Supercollider?

I put filter before fuzz because the fuzz stops the filter triggering properly (it adds a lot of comprssion)

that is, I did when I had a filter and a fuzz.

It depends what kind of filter. IF it's a wah pedal, I like it after. If it's a synth/Env filter, I love to put it before.

The whole order of my board is a slave to my compression needs. Some effects (envelope filter, envelope phase) need to go before the comp to control peaks. However, fuzz before comp sounds like ass. Hopefully when I upgrade my Q-Tron+ to a 3Leaf I won't have those problems anymore...hopefully...

Filter before fuzz and filter with fuzz mix with a LS-2 A/B Mix.
It's like having your cake and eating it with cake too.

It depends on what I'm doing, most of the time yes : fuzz->filter but sometime I like to put a bigmuff at the end of my chain for extra texture and sometimes I have gone fuzz>filter>fuzz>filter>fuzz>filter>fuzz.

I always put any kind of wah/envelope filter before dirt. I play rock, not disco.

Is that a serious answer? That looks like something I would put in as a sarcastic response. Reminds me of Spinal Tap. Or the Will Ferrell razor on SNL with 17 blades.

I'd be impressed if that's been on your board (no sarcasm). What were you using? Diff pedals, or replicated versions w/ diff settings?

Not sarcasm at all but I don't have a filter on my board either ATM. I have a lot of pedals so when I have a idea I throw something together for what ever the idea is. Lets see that chain if I remember was

Tweakfuzz > Q-tron > GGG tuned BMP > DOD FX25 > DE OK > EHX Bassballs > green Sovtek muff. Also in the chain was a two octaves, trem, comp , phase, flange, another comp, all into a Roland space echo. It is all about balance though, the reason is to create syth sounds not Spinal Tap.

I have around 15 fuzzes and 6 filters + a wah so if I want to I can create much oddness

Here is a shot of a similar setup with less fuzz but you get the idea.
