RE: order of pedals

[David Kirkdorffer <DKirkdorffer@exapps.com>]

I always tried to use follow the "Kirkdorffer Directives" in stomp-box
ordering.

1) Place at the end of the chain, the effect that generates the most 
"system
noise" or "muddiness" -- so that all that system noise doesn't become
"effected" by subsequent devices.  In my case, I have a FUZZ Factory at the
end.

2) Place at the beginning of the chain the effect that can give the most
gain when turned on, to help "push" your signal through all those little
cables and pedals and up to your hungry amp.  In my case, I've added a line
boost.

I hope that helps.
