Effect chain order suggestions

I am new to the forum and happy to be a part of the community.
I have amassed quite a few pedals and am after some opinions on my pedal board and also would be interested in others opinions of how I could re order it and also up for suggested additional pedals!!
I have a Warwick BO5 and a Ampeg PF800 running into 2X410 cabs

pedals on the board are in following order

Boss Tuner > Digitech Bass Whammy > Tyler frequency splitter [(high pass)-Morley power wah>Big Muff (low pass)-Boss CS3 Compression Sustainer] > MXR M87 compressor > Morley 20/20 vol wah > cheapo analog delay > Darkglass Alpha Omega Ultra.

Getting a very nice pallete of tones from this but wondering if I should swap things around

I play metal and funk styles mainly also a bit of dub - trying to get that very bassy tone I am finding difficult - however the Tyler helps with this

I'd put the wah after the muff for a way more pronounced wah tone, but there's not much else that's a clear yes.
I have the Morley 20/20 afterwards- but that will affect the high and low frequencies..
my theory of putting the Morley power wah before is to have a more mellow wah effect - some sort of pedal order switching device could be of use here?? Could a Line selector work in this way?

Only if you'll use it :). I do think saturnworks and some others make order switchers for this kind of purpose, but if a subtler effect is your goal then you're doing it right.
