How's everybody doing? I'm looking for some advice regarding the order of the BOSS pedals I'm currently using. I realize that a "correct" pedal order can be subjective but I have a gut feeling that I may have a pedal or 2 out of place. Here's my current pedal order:

Guitar-->Boss TU-2 Tuner-->Boss CS-3 Compressor/Sustainer-->Boss GE-7 Equalizer-->Boss EH-2 Enhancer-->Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor-->Boss RV-3 Digital Delay/Reverb-->Amp

I'm kind of a newbie when it comes to pedals and effects and all that. Does that order look reasonable? Should my eq come before my compressor? Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If it's important to know, I play a Schecter C-1 Plus through a Mesa Triple Rectifier 2 Channel Solo Head into a Marshall JCM800 4x12 cabinet. Musical style is metal/hardcore.

maybe the noise suppressor at the nd and the enhancer at the beginning?

Whatever works best for you is the right answer.

Do you use your amp's distortion? Do you have an effects loop? I find the delays sound like garbage if you put the delay before the distortion. If your amp has a loop, try the delay in there.

Thanks to everyone that replied. Forget I ever posted this question. I have to just try different arrangements and see what works best for me as someone already suggested. End of story.

definitely keep the rv-3 after the ns-2, otherwise the end of your reverb trail may get cut off by the supressor.

If anyone is interested in ambient soundscapes and would like to get ahold of a copy of my CD just hit me up on AIM/MSN or PM.

As many will agree with me I'm sure. There is no right/wrong way to arrange your pedals. What sounds good to your ears is key.

I would hope so, since he's got a triple rec. and plays metal!

I second the fx loop, for reverb/delay. Or anything that you want to be post-distortion. Some like compression after dist, but it is noisy. Good luck

My Pedalboard

I've been putting my tuner last in the chain a lot recently. Really quick way to check that I'm getting signal through all the pedals (so all my pedals and patch leads are okay), which is useful when you're doing quick setups with sometimes dodgy equipment.
