Wah, before or after?

[Rotti]

This has probbaly been discussed before but do you place your wah pedal before or after the rest of your effects in your signal chain?

Before everything else (that was back when I had a Crybaby wah, sold it since - might get a nice non-Dunlop one someday)

Depends what you want. Sometimes I used to put the wah last in the chain so I could change the tone of the delay repeats. There is no set way, it depends what you are trying to achieve, but generally I'd say put it first.

I've always used mine first in the chain but I recently put it last to for a change. It actually doesn't sound too bad last. I find it's a little less musical and a little more extreme but it's not bad. Just wondering what everyone else does.

2nd in the chain, After the compressor

Sometimes I actually like to have a distortion pedal (DS-1, TS-9 or what have you) before the wah, follow by the preamp. Creates a really metallic sounding wah.

Pretty cool IMHO

I guess mine is in the middle of the chain. I run all my effects separately with a looper, then only activate the ones I want when I want them. Sometimes my Wah is first, sometimes inthe middle and sometimes last. Sorry I was no help, I just like to vote.

Wah comes first

[Myst and rain]

I have my Whammy first, then the wah, and then everything else.

Volume -> Wah -> everything else

Tuner - DD-3 - Wah. I don't use many effects.
