Question about pedalboard chaining.

Hey guys;

I have this on my actual pedalboard:
Dunlop Crybaby 105Q
Tech 21 Sansamp bass driver DI
EHX Russian Muff
Boss OC3
Digitech Synth Wah
Moog Bass MURF
Akai E2 Headrush Delay
- and I ordered a Dunlop tremolo and a Akai deep impact they will be here soon.

I what order you guys would mount this pedalboard..?

I have it right now like this:
Crybaby -> Sansamp DI -> EHX Muff -> MoogMurf -> Dig Synthwah -> OC3 -> Akai E2 Delay HR

With this chain Im having a good sound, almost what i want.

Where should I add trem and deep impact?

Thanks,
Jean Carlos.
 
I would put synths and octavers before distortion and overdrive, they probably need as clean a signal as possible to work at their best. Tremolo last. Wah before or after distortion...

Do you use your Sansamp as overdrive or DI?

Maybe like this;

wah - oc3 - digitech synth - akai - moog - muff - sansamp - tremolo (or tremolo before sansamp if you want to use it as DI).

Just my 50cents...
