Best order to put my effects pedals in ?? Please help

[pvj scotland]

Hi there , this is my first post and looking for a little help, im currently playing i a pearl jam tribute band and wondering if i really have all my pedals in the most affective order. My current order is-
boss line selector-for changing between fretted and fretless basses
boss tuner
mxr bass compressor
trex octavius-for 8/12 string bass sound
boss bass overdrive obd3
boss bass flanger
boss bass chorus
boss bass eq-setting for fretless bass
boss bass eq-setting for fretted bass
think most of it is ok mainly thinking about moving the eq pedals...cheers

Maybe if you switched the EQs and the compressor maybe. I don't have a set up nearly as big as this but maybe just having EQ affect the clean sound first and the compressor adjusting the final sound would be good.

I'd probably move the EQs to before the compressor. That way you can set them up so the compressor will react similarly to each bass. I might also put the chorus before the flanger so that the flanger's "sound" isn't affected by the chorus. Unless you like that sound of course.

bass - tuner - eq - eq - (compressor - octave) - (overdrive - chorus - flanger) - amp

the effects in the parentecys can be swapped.
