If you use the M-80 as a DI, i'd put it at the end. If you use it as distortion, put it before or after the wah. I'd do this.

WITH DI:
Bass-->Morley Wah-->Chorus-->Flanger-->Delay-->MXR M-80 DI-->Mixer and Amp

NOTE: Chorus and Flanger can be moved interchangably.

WITH DISTORTION:
Bass-->MXR M-80 DI-->Morley Wah-->Chorus-->Flanger-->Delay-->Amp

NOTE: The M-80 will sound good before and after wah, just experiment.
