Help with placement in chain

Hi guys,

Just looking at tidying up my board a bit - have a PT1 coming my way on Monday.

At the moment I use a VT Bass Deluxe, TC Polytune, Boss RC2 Looper, Markbass Super Synth all powered by a T-Rex Fuel Tank Jnr.
I'm also wanting to add an EHX Qballs and Steel&Leather or an MXR compressor


Anyway, it's currently set up as follows:


Bass Guitar - TC Polytune - VT bass (input 1) - Markbass SS in effect send and return of VT

Output of VT Bass - Boss RC Loop - Front input of amp.

I have opted to use the front end of the amp as I generally prefer the VT as a preamp - it suits every rig I plug into and sounds huge every time! (especially useful in venues where the backline is provided or i can't use my own and I'm presented with a sub-par combo that's seen better days!)


I am probably going to place the Qballs in the VT's effects loop with the Super Synth, but where should I place the compressor and loop station? After VT and before the amp as it is now?


Cheers
Colin

It depends on why you want the effects and what you want them to do ... ;)

As a starting point I would put the compressor first and the looper last, but there is no single correct answer. Try different combinations of your pedals and see what sounds best and what does what your music needs.
