Multi-pedal setup

If you are talking about the effects in your profile I could totally see the Steel Leather and Bass Wah having cancelling effects, like the wah cutting the frequencies that the Steel leather accentuates (and vice versa) or the two combining to make such a narrow filter that there is almost no content left for your ears to grab hold of.

So it would be just those pedals? Cuz I am about to get a boss odb-3 and was wondering if it would be the same issue.
 
At some point you just gotta put them together and try them out. I would expect those three to work together OK, but there are a lot of different configurations with those pedals. Some of them may work great and some of them may work terribly. In fact a single tone from those may sound like tortured joy raining down from heaven to you and sloth flatulence to someone else. The more you add the harder it gets to be able to say.

I wouldn't have expected the Steel Leather and Wah to completely cancel each other out, but that is what you experienced and those pedals are both filters, so I could see it happening. Sometimes pedals just don't play nice with each other.
