Question...How well does your Whammy pedal track being last in the chain? When I had one, I found it tracked much better if it was first in line. (This was a first-generation Whammy pedal. The newer ones might track better than my old one.)

Later...
hey man thanks for your reply...

actually last night during practice i experimented with various diff positions and youre absolutely right about the compressor, it def sounds best right after the tuner, additionally ive moved the whammy to first in line and i find that it seems to have a better effect in terms of clarity, it seemed like it was cutting my signal a bit last in line, or maybe it was all in my head but i swear i can tell the difference in having it first in line rather than last.

basically now im running the setup like this:

72 tele deluxe
digitech whammy
boss tu-2 tuner
boss compressor/sustainer --> which has AWESOME sustain by the way
ibanez TS-9 w/808 chip
mxr micro amp
boss DD-5 w/ tap tempo

into a 74 musicman HD130 212 on the low power setting.

ive never used a compressor/sustainer in my life until this week and its actually pretty damn good sounding. thanks for the advice.
