Hey guys I figured someone on talkbass would have more knowledge on this as I keep having issues with gain staging before the amp, so just curious as to what you all would say.

with these pedals listed below what order would you run them in? I currently am running them in this order but with the 2 chase bliss pedals running through the effects loop on my amp.

-29 Euna Pedal
-3 leaf Octabvre
-3 leaf Doom 2
-Jad Freer Capo
-Union Lab compressor
-Chase bliss warped vinyl
-Chase bliss dark world reverb

I know there are a lot of factors involved with this but my active bass into all these pedals just does not feel like the optimum sonic choice for my pedal board order. Any advice would be well appreciated!!
 
You’ve got one the best di’s for complex boards. Might as well take advantage of its different options.

I would do something like this that gives you a clean xlr send but with the la2a style compression applied.

Euna -> compressor -> Capo input -> pre send -> octabvre-> doom 2 -> pre return -> post send -> warped vinyl -> dark world -> post return -> capo output -> amp
