New Board advice

Fallen deep in to the Effects blackhole and have bought myself a new board and a bunch of pedals.

Would welcome thoughts on pedal order. I think I've got the majority of effects and sounds I want covered with it. Just have to hope it fits neatly!

Half the pedals are here and all bar the Moon Pool should be here by Christmas.

Personally, I would have the wah off the board (first) and you may want to mess around with fuzz before/after your OD pedal but that's personal preference. Other than that I think you're golden

^ What Ben said. 

You might want to test the fuzzes before the comp too.

I'd add that I'd be looking at a loop switcher to preserve tone with that many pedals.

Something like a GigRig QMX8 will fill up the space on the back rail - obvs put it on the front rail.

Very similar to my set up actually. Metro 20, QMX6, Xotic wah off the board.

Any time I used a Wah pedal I did so with my right foot.  In that position on the board I wouldn't be able to get my left foot forward far enough for balance and would be reaching.  Just something that you might need to consider if you are right-footed.

The modulation fx like delay chorus etc normally go in the fx loop of the amp so put those together .

I like to align my pedals so the buttons are aligned straight rather than the bottom of the pedal.  But I am a bit odd so i might be the only one that does that.

The polytune has a buffer in it and the rest of the pedals are true bypass. I'm looking at a one control or gigrig QM 6 switcher but wondered how much different it would make given the cost and more cables required?
Simplifying it a little...

Still need to get the Retrovibe! Retrovibe to Chorus on the loop switcher. Compressor last. 

Looking forward to being able to upload an actual finished photo rather than pedalboard planner!
