I seemed to change pedals constantly until I switched to rack gear and programmed my sounds there , that ended my pedal buying madness but for many years I bought and sold many of my pedals and had many pedalboard incarnations. Always on the old school side of things, no switching systems, no 4-cable method , no FX loops , just cable in ---> pedal chain ---> amp.
That particular pedalboard had the following signal chain:
-TC electronics polytune
-Xotic SP compressor
-Maxon SD 9
-Carl Martin Plexitone
-Mooer Pure Boost
-Line 6 M5
-Mooer Shimverb
-Mooer TresCab ( for cab simulation if no amp was available)
-Whirlwind DI box ( only if using the cab sim and playing direct to console)

The order of the chain can have an impact on the overall sound, can it not?
Here using on the fly changable combinations of pedals via Roland VG99 and the FC 300 pedal - so no pedals at all. Serious biz - not everyones' cuppa tea. Love it.
oh , you got a guitar equipped with the GK system and all? cool! .. Yes , pedal order has a huge impact on sound , it's not the same to filter before distortion than after , or delay before reverb and viceversa.. it sounds very different . There is not a written rule but a general ''correct'' guideline for pedal order would be :
Filter ( wahs and such ) --> compressor ---> distortions/overdrives --> modulations --> delay --> reverb.
That's my general approach at least! Hope it helps :D
Yep, the Gk3 - it's special.
YEAH, EVEN on the VG99 we can change the order of effects. Easy to switch and to hear the differene.
yes , i mostly mess with changing the order of disortion pedals.. as the resulting tone will also be different depending on how you stack them :p
