Pappas, just mix it up and check them out. I have my Tele into an MJM Sixties Vibe -> Fulltone Wah -> MJM London Fuzz -> MJM Blues Devil -> Amp. I've actually since moved the Fuzz in front of the Wah! MJM London Fuzz -> Fulltone Wah -> MJM Blues Devil and everything sounds so much better. Go figure, splitting the two distortions with a Wah. Some people will tell you that the Vibe should be the last one before the amp but many others say it should be first. I'm pretty sure Stone and Mike put theres first after the guitar.

I'd go Wah>TS>Guv>Vibe>Amp
That's just me though!
Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V
I read this a week or so ago and I changed up the order of my board for the first time in years. The chain is usually.... GTR--->Wah--->ts9--->dod corrosion--->Line6 MM4--->Boss TU-2--->Line6 DL4--->Ernie Ball Stereo/Pan Volume---> Amp
But I put the volume after my tuner and loved how I could do volume swells when I had the delay going and things slowly trailed off. The only problem is that I'll have to eventually buy another volume pedal(or just
not be lazy and learn how to do volume swells with my guitar's volume knob) to go at the end of my chain because I usually run two amps and blend them.
so ianvomsaal, u recommended the BD-2 Blues Driver by BOSS, which definitely looks cool, but if I want more punh and some modern rock crunch (PJ, Soungarden) would the better option be the BOSS DS-1?
but wow, that Blues Driver sounds sweet. I just don't know how versatile it would be when playing PJ for instance.
Actually you can get quite a lot of punch from the BOSS BD-2, and it sounds different from the Ibanez TS-9 – I personally don’t like the DS-1 very much (maybe if it got Keeley Modified it would have a better tone).
The Ibanez TS-9 is very cool (I own two). I use the TS-9 and BD-2 every time I play (though most of the time I do prefer the Boss BD-2 Blues Driver for tube-like sounding overdrive because it's not as thin sounding as the TS-9). Mike MCcready does have both BD-2 and TS-9 pedals on his pedalboard (both Keeley Modified).
Many people say don’t bother getting either Boss BD-2 or Ibanez TS-9 pedals UNLESS you get them Keeley Modified (I don't necessarily agree, however his MODIFICATIONS do sound good).
Like me, Mr. Keeley prefers the Boss BD-2.
Here are some thoughts from Bob Keeley on the BD-2: "The BD-2 is not the same pedal as a TS9 pedal. When cranked the BD-2 offers a grittier/more-edgy tone, and has a more FULL-RANGE sound. It is much more of a TRANSPARENT type of overdrive. It sounds like real tube break-up. It is therefore not as smooth and narrow sounding as the TS9. For tone-purists, this is it! It's not simply a distortion pedal but rather a tone tool that adds to your guitar tone, supplying really nice lows, crystal clear high frequency, great picking response and detail. For those wanting to set their amp on fire but not change the tone of their system, this is the pedal. The BD-2 is very DYNAMIC and works wonders with the volume control on your guitar. You can control all the drive you want by setting the BD-2 Gain high and using your volume control to instantly dial in the rest!"
Basically I'd suggest you try both pedals out and decide for yourself what you like best – I have both on my board, and use both every time I play.

i have a keeley ultra ds-1, which i like, but times i wish i had a keeley bd-2 instead

I think this has been covered in a previous post, but for me given you already have a wah i'd probably go with.
A Tuner
An Overdrive
A Delay
And maybe a Distortion
Sort of new at this too. Or rather, I can play, but I am not knowledgeable about how to achieve certain tones or sounds.
So, what are the absolute must have pedals or effects? Like if you could only have 4 for example. What are the go-tos?
I already have a wah.
If you like your amps od you can't go wrong with a wah, od/boost/fuzz/something similar to change the color of your sound a bit, delay, and a modulation.
Do you guys normally put your tuner before or after the wah? Or do you put it towards the end of the chain?
My tuner is the first pedal in my chain, followed by a volume pedal.
Me too, I've just seen so many people saying they have the wah first. I just wanted to see if they just didn't include the tuner in the description. thanks!!

Tuner should always be at the top of the chain. My first three are Volume --> Tuner --> Wah. I don't have room for the volume and I used it for swells, so it is before the tuner. The wah comes after to keep ahead of the overdrive, which needs to be ahead of the delay. love this stuff!
Do any of you all record anything? Would love to hear other board member's artistic adventures!
I used to play bass in a band in Washington, DC. As soon as we got our act together and got good we split up when the guitarist/vocalist decided to move out to San Francisco.
A few years ago I recorded some Pearl Jam covers with a drummer and had a vocalist in New York add his vocals and we pieced it together online.
Nowadays I record demos on my own, just scratch guitar and drums on an 8-track. Its all unfinished, but its all posted here
My 2 cents...mooger foogers on the end. they will kill everything else, it did in my case but it may be different for others.
I have 2 Mooger Foogers. I just have to make sure they are in the pedal loop, and not between my guitar and the amp head input. That seems to work fine.
Bright eyed kid: "Wow Typo Man, you're the best!"
Typo Man: "Thanks kidz, but remembir, stay in skool!"
I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but here I go I'm thinking of buying a OD pedal, which is the best price/quality OD pedal? ( I Play/ would like to play thinks like Nirvana, Pearl jam, etc.)
I've just bought a multieffect pedal, a digitech rp55, is a very nice pedal, but I'm trying to create an effect that simulates the intro of rope, but I can't get it, can anybody help me?
does this logic apply to bass effects as well as guitar effects?
I would say so. Most of the reasoning seems like it would cross over pretty seamlessly. Besides, they're just guidelines and a good starting point. The only "rule" here that I feel you shouldn't break is putting dirt after a delay.
I have a huge request,
we are a man and woman from Germany/Berlin, Pearl Jam Fans since 20 years and can win a travel to the concert in Seattle with our local radio station. For this we need your help as much as possible.
