Tell us in what order you place your effects in the chain and have you experimented new ways?

Basically my daisy chain goes
Boss NS-2 ----> Maxon OD-9 overdrive -----> 535Q wah -----> Planet waves chromatic tuner -----> guitar
Then my effects loops goes: Send -----> EQ ----> delay ----> return

So the noise suppressor is last before the amp?

So the noise suppressor is last before the amp?
My amps input going into my NS-2's output. Its the furthest away from my guitar out of the pedals.

Well.
uber metal > dd-3 > bf-2 > phase 90 > wah > volume
I still have two or three pedals until I am fully satisfied with my pedalboard

Planet Waves Tuner--->OD pedal--->amp.
Sometimes there is a 2nd OD pedal as a lead boost.

Here's my latest pedal board setup. I've taken an 11-channel Road Rage true-bypass looper
and added a switch to make it work in two different ways: all effects in front of the amp or dirt
pedals in front of amp and time-based/modulation effects in the amp's effects loop... all with a
flip of a switch and WITHOUT having to rewire your pedal board!!!)

Oh that's great. Thanks for sharing!

And here's the finalized version of my pedalboard, which includes an 11-channel true-bypass looper than can either run everything in front of the amp, or (with the flip of a switch) split the looper into 2 separate 5-channel loopers. Splitting the looper lets me run my dirt pedals in front of the amp while putting my time-based/modulation effects in the amp's fx loop!

Here's my revamped pedalboard. I got rid of the separate phase, chorus, tremolo, and flanger and just went with the Line 6 unit, which does fine for my needs. I also limited my dirt pedals to 3 (down from 5). I run this thru my Egnater Tweaker amp (mic'd into FOH mix and monitors). I keep the amp on the clean (USA) setting and use the pedals for dirt. I can run the delay/modulation effects thru the amp's FX loop if I want (but keep the dirt, wah, etc. infront of the amp).

OK, here's the latest version of my main playing gear...
I have 2 pedalboards. The first one shown below is kept at church and used with either my Strat or C-356 and my Egnater Tweaker amp.
Everything is run in front of the amp for this smaller setup. The second board is my home/recording board (a heavy back breaker beast).
It utilizes the amp's F/X send/return loop for the modulation and time-based effects (but this can be bypassed if I ever need to run
everything in front of the amp). I also love the Tweaker with this setup.
I keep my amp set clean (USA, Vintage, Clean, Bright, Deep) with the Gain at 9 o'clock and the Treble/Mid/Bass/Master Volume to taste.
I find this is a wonderful combination that lets me go from Fender cleans to as much Marshally crunch, etc. (love the Crunch Box).
The amp is kept off the floor on a tilt-back stand and is mic'd slightly off-axis of the center of the cone.

Depends on what kind of sound I'm trying to achieve. When designing sound it can be literally anything, experimenting with the signal chain can get you some interesting results.
For general mixing however, usual chain goes Distortion/Saturation > EQ > Compression > Sidechain Compression (If necessary). Reverbs and Delays are used on Return tracks (not always the case).
