I need some opinion guys, how will arrange my stompboxes in my pedal board? (from my guitar to amp)

I have the following stomp boxes...

Boss NS-2 (noise suppressor)
Boss CS-3 (compression sustainer)
Boss SD-2 (dual Overdrive)
Boss CH-1 (super chorus)
Boss PH-3 (phase shifter)
Boss PS-3 (pitch shift/delay)

I also have a CryBaby Classic

and it is all connected in series to my amp..

Whats the Best Arrangement for this setup?

Do I have to follow a specific order?

Do I need to add other gadgets? (such as EQs and other stuffs)

HELP please....

Thanks.....

I think the best order would be:

Guitar
|
Crybaby
compressor-sustainer
overdrive
chorus
phaser
pitch shift/delay
noise supressor
|
Amp

There's a useful article >here< (http://www.bossus.com/bugonline/how_to.asp?art=order) that explains the ins and outs of ordering your pedals.

Hope that helps.

Here's a link to the BOSS Guitar Effects Guidebook Vol.19 (http://www.bossus.com/Manuals/3884_GuitarEffects_US_200(1).pdf)

It has how to best connect your pedals on pg. 34.

Good luck! :)

The way Akira put the order is pretty much the standard way of doing it. You will find big differences putting OD in front of a wah as well as comp in front of a wah. You should put each pedal in a category and group them together. Then take say a Delay and Chorus and interchange them to get different sounds.
