Whammy placement

Right after the tuner.

 

I put mine before my compressor. If you're creating notes way lower/higher than the notes you're playing, the volume/bass might be fairly different so the compressor evens it out a bit (at least that's my thinking).

 

Aside from the already great answers:

Somewhere down low, like on the floor or a pedalboard would let you use your feet to rock the treadle.

It could work on a table top, or on a stage too. Might be fun to put it out in the audience for a short while, see what happens.

You could put a big knob on the selector so you can play it with your foot.

You are welcome

 

I would try it both before and after to see which works better. If you have any tracking issues putting it after the comp might help.

 

I would, yes.

 

Traditional whammy sounds - put it early. For spaced out awesome - put it late.
