Here is very nice comparison of various good pedal compressors: http://musictoyz.infopop.cc/6/ubb.x?q=Y&a=tpc&s=6476029571&f=4066066091&m=6056050402&p=1 A very general effect placement rule is: sound source (guitar/bass/etc.) -> filter effects (wah-wahs, envelope followers, etc.) -> compressors -> overdrives/distortion/fuzz --> modulation (chorus/flange) --> volume pedal --> delays/loopers --> reverb --> amplification If you are using parallel effects loops, like a mixer, it's also common to put the delays/loopers in the fx loop and then everything out to the amp(s). I find that ring modulators and tremelos can go just about anywhere in the effects chain. Now, I actually use a slightly different setup for my boxes, which is: Guitar -> Whammy -> Q-Tron -> MoogerFooger Ring Modulator -> Killer Wail wah -> Dyna-Comp -> Varidrive -> V-Twin -> George Dennis Volume/Tremelo -> DL4 #1 -> MM4 -> DL4 #2 -> -> Fender Dual Showman Reverb amp or -> Laney LC 15R amp -> THD Hot Plate -> Echo Pro -> ADA MicroCab -> Alesis QuadraVerb -> Mixer
