another question:
is there any method to the madness? why that specific order?

Fuzz amplifies any noise, so best put that at the front.

Depends.


There is no "right" order.

Do you want all your delayed repeats to be the same dirtiness? If so, Fuzz before Delay. If you want the dirt to decrease on the more decayed repeats, then put after Delay.
Flanger is more prominent when used with dirt when it is before the Dirt.

You can flange your delay with your flanger after the delays or you can delay your Flanged notes with the Flanger before the delay.

i have found that the dirt boxes need to go first, but like mike said.
you want a clean delay sound that gets distorted, or a distorted sound that repeats.
i know it sounds wierd, but trust me, there is a difference.

well, obviously. can get good sounds either way, but nothing like a good echo fuzz.

+2 although the other way can be interesting at times...but it is a pain to mix in a PA or when recording...
