Hi everyone. What is your optimal of pedals' order placement?
Which order of pedals' placement is good for signal/tone?
I finally got all pedals that I need, but still need more work to complete the whole pedalboard.

• Empress Bass Compressor
• DigiTech Whammy Ricochet
• Meris Enzo
• Meris Hedra
• Earthquaker Devices Spatial Delivery
• Darkglass Vintage MicroTubes
• Bassics BPA-01
• Source Audio EQ2
• Markbass Super Booster
• Southampton Utility Knife Modulator
• Providence Chrono Delay
• Neunaber Immerse Reverberator Mk II

Many thanks in advance.

Funny just read a lot on this and swapped it all about a few times. Ending on a non standard sequence.
First my drive. The Chinese knock off of the tube screamer. Next chorus. Pulled the clone theory for my hartke analog one. That clone makes a ton of noise. And the hartke, cheap and cheerful sits really close soundwise.
Followed by my EQ pedal. I want my lows back.
And a compressor at the end. Which has a great sustain function too.
Totally against common understanding. But it works for me. Better than the conventional order.
Tried several options.

Got a noise gate on order. So my clone theory can go back in.
In short.

Drive-chorus-EQ-compressor. All I need really.

Thanks for your input!
I tried your advise to put Drive & Chorus before EQ & Pre. It is much better.
Still tweaking!
