    Pedal board signal path help?

    So i’m starting my journey into my pedals… I currently have a Cry Baby but plan to get a lot more soon, so what order should I put these in for the cleanest signal?
    Cry baby
    Boss TU3
    MXR Carbon copy delay
    MXR 10 band eq
    Dunlop volume pedal
    Digitech whammy
    MXR Smart gate

    Any help would be amazing, thank you

    Since you do not mention a distortion pedal of any kind, I am assuming you will be relying on your amps distortion.
    Most modern amps have an effects loop. I strongly suggest using it. This helps keep the signal clean and strong.
    There is a basic order that effects usually go in. There are no specific rules, but just general guidelines. The 1st in the signal chain is usually preamps. This includes distortion, compressors, and equalizers. The 2nd step is usually modulation effects such as chorus, flanger, phase shifter, etc. The 3rd step is time based effects like echo/delay, reverb, and harmonizers. There are some utility devices that do not exactly fit any one specific criteria, such as volume pedals and noise gates. These cab be placed in almost and position but they are often used right before the echo pedal to insure that any echos and reverbs will not be cut off. There are some “musts” that should be observed. The primary one is that the wah pedal is best placed right after the guitar and before the amp. They just seem to function the best that way.
    For your set up I would recommend the following order;
    Guitar>Wah pedal>Amp input. Then from the effects loop out>Tuner>E.Q.>Noise gate>Volume>Whammy pedal>Delay>Effects loop return.
    You can, of course, experiment with the order of various components such as whammy after delay, or E.Q. after other units.
    You might wish to consider the use of a single, high quality, multi-effects unit as opposed to several single pedals. The sound quality is generally much better and you have the added flexibility of getting many effects for the cost of a few.
