Effect chain...HELP !

The answer is always the same: they go in the order that they sound best to you. Experiment!

If those were my pedals, I would go compressor -> octave -> tuner -> filter -> flanger -> chorus and then sell the noise suppressor and Sansamp. :smug:
 
I always put tuner, comps up front
then dirt pedals, and
modulation fx last (chorus, filters, trem)

try:
Boss Tuner

Compressor

SansAmp BDDI, or
EHX Bassballs or
MXR-288 octave deluxe

Flanger or
Chorus

Noise suppressor

you might want to move the SABDDI around in the chain if you want dirty octave, chorus, or flange, try it before and after those fx to see what sounds better to you
