I have recently decided to start buying pedals and i have brought:

-Tech21 SansAmp Bass Driver Programmable DI
-Morley PBA-2 Dual Bass Wah
-Behringer VP1 Vintage Phaser

and i'm going to get:

Boss CEB-3 Bass Chorus Pedal
Behringer BUF300 Bass Guitar Flanger
i will also be making a fuzz pedal

but i don't know which will be the best order for these pedals.
i don't have an effects loop on my amp but i may buy a VT1 “Bob the Blender” if needed
i also have a napalm loop pedal to put the pedals in a separate loop

sorry I should telll you why this order haha

Bass driver to eq everything and set yourself up

fuzz because gain based effects(distortion/overdrive) should always go first in the chain

Morley because any wha or envelope filter can either go here or at the end of the chain(I prefer the after the fuzz)

Chorus here because it enhances harmonics after all the 'toneshaping' effects

Modulation (phase and flanger) here because you want your modulation to happen after you have shaped your tone. I prefer to go faster to slower (phase to flanger) only if I have both on at the same time playing live for wacky effects.

that should be enough for you to chew on till next time any questions just ask

BDDI into fuzz killed the fuzz in my setup. Then I tried the BDDI last. Had an interesting effect that I liked (obviously, it was dependent on the settings of the pedals).
Also, there are no limits. You'll just have to figure out if you like your flanger fuzzed or your fuzz flanged ;D

There are some "rules" that help with the setup.
Fuzz loves direct passive pickup feed.
DI boxes should be last.
Delays/Reverbs should be just before the DI box.

The rest is pretty much up to you and your imagination.

cool thanks guys have you got any ideas on the VT1 “Bob the Blender” because since i have no effects loop i think it may be a good idea to get one? and if i do get one what should it connect to
