BCB-30 What 3 pedals?

I don't have a BCB-30, but if I did, I'd go all Boss: tuner > limiter > bass driver, the tuner being the powersource.
A common misconception. The tuner is never the power source....the power supply is. All that the dc out socket does on some tuner pedals is exactly the same as a daisy chain does. So your results are no different (and frankly no more convenient) than a daisy chain. The dc out socket is an almost pointless feature that is included in tuner pedals only to fuel this misconception. :-)
 
Thanks for the replys, I was really hoping for answers using all Boss pedals. The reason I asked is because I can never decide on Just 3. This is all purely hypothetical anyway.

Incidentally the 3 I took to my gig the other day worked out great, perhaps I'll start using the BCB-30 more.
 
When I go to band practice I just bring my BCB-30 with a TU-2, GEB-7 and ODB-3. If I'm at home I put a BF-3, CEB-5 and DD-6 in the BCB-30 and plug it into the effects loop of my amp. Then I have my bass plugged into the TU-2 in front of a BCB-6 with an LMB-3, GEB-7, OC-3, SYB-5, AW-3 and ODB-3, followed by an NS-2 into my amp. I was thinking about getting another BCB-30 and one more pedal, maybe a FZ-5, so none of my Boss pedals ever have to touch the floor. :)
