Pedal collection I'm happy with. Critique my chain.

I personally prefer a wah before any modulation, but not for any reason other than personal preference. I also use a "normal" wah that you have to keep your foot on to use, so it makes sense to have it in the row closest to me.

Also, my Fuzz Factory doesn't like having any buffers (like, I believe, in your compressor) before it in the chain. No idea if your Muff is the same in that respect.

Anyway, you're the only one who has to be happy with it, and it's easy enough to switch things up and experiment.

 

I would put the Vibe and the Auto Wah before dirt.
I would also put the Joyo UD before the Muff to tighten the Muff up a bit.
Nothing like a tight Muff, right?

 

I agree with the three above. Those are the areas to experiment with IMO.

 

Auto wah is touch sensitive
I'd run that first
A buffer, even in a bypassed device, would alter the auto wah trigger response

 

While I agree with the auto-wah comments (I put my first for best sensitivity), after seeing this picture I think I'm going to play around with mine coming after the delay pedal. That could possibly pretty cool where the initial note has a hard attack getting the filter to open and then the repeats having softer attack as the filter closes down.

 

As said before, I also would have my auto wag/ EF first then vibe and then my dirt.
You can experiment with the comp but I like mine after an envelope filter.

 

Trust me, your tastes will change. You will want to try other types of drives, other types of modulation, etc. Or, you will decide to upgrade something. We all do it. But for right here and now, if these pedals inspire you, great! Enjoy. I think you chose well, except for the one required pedal... a tuner.

 

This particular vibe is a digital effect, so it might interact a little differently with drive than an analog univibe.

 

The UD into the Muff might be a good stacked sound. The Muff into the UD is probably less useful, maybe let you have more gain at lower volumes for home use.

 

UD & Big Muff: I just tried them, didn't care for them stacked in either order. Too much bass in both. A more midrange focused pedal into either one would be better than those two together.

Although Muff into UD (with gain set low) sounded better than just UD alone with gain set high.

 

I would switch the vibe and the delay, just because I think I'd get more use out of the "vibed" tone being repeated (it could sound cool, since the dry signal and the delays would be at different points in the vibe's up-and-down) than vice versa. But that's subject to your preference, and if you're not likely to use both pedals at once then it's a moot point.

I also typically prefer placing my wah after my dirt pedals, though that's even more subjective (and, I believe, mine is the minority opinion). No idea how yours being an auto wah would change that, if at all.

 

I think wah can work both before and after dirt/modulation, although each way has a different effect on the tone of course. I happen to have a couple of old wah pedals and do just that!

Agree with @SixStringSlinger about placement of vibe after delay. In general I like having the delay after dirt/modulation.

Have fun experimenting!

 

I see that Joyo Ultimate drive more and more I feel like...guess I'll have to try one out.
