The order of effects pedals in your chain makes a massive difference to your final sound.

The way I approach this is to try and imagine the final sound I want to create and work back from there. Sometimes I get it right and it sounds cool, sometimes I get it wrong and it sounds cool and new. Sometimes it sounds just bloody awful so I start again and continue until I am happy. Having something at the end of your chain you can plug headphones into sometimes helps !

I think that as there are no rights and wrongs to this subject the best thing to do is to experiment until you find something you like. Remember that setup and continue experimenting !!!
