Pedal and FX order question

Pedal and FX order questions!

Unimportant story: Been playing guitar (acoustic) most of my life, and made the jump to electric this past two years. Lots to learn, lots to do! Between the many questions I have (setting up some guitars, and tone concerns), the newest problem I have is pedal order. I had a friend come over and said the pedals sound wonky, and need to be reordered. Said friend also could not help.

Not sure what other information would be most helpful, but these are the gear!

MXR EVH 5150 Overdrive MXR EVH 5150 Chorus MVR EVH Flanger Boss blues driver BD-2 Moder pitch box Tc electronics flashback true bypass MXR EVH phase 90 Kliq Tiny Tune BOSS WL-50 wireless system

Amp is a Super Crush 100, does have an FX Loop, Not using it though. (For a lack of understanding really)

Thank you to anyone that takes the time me to read, or offer insight!

@mykejb , as I understand it then you have extensive hardware knowledge so perhaps you have some insight or advice to offer dianesiddiqui ?

In general, if someone says "You're doing this wrong" but can't tell you what you're doing wrong treat it with some scepticism!!

This is a good article on guitar pedal order - A Guide to Guitar Pedal Order | GuitarPlayer

In the end though if it works for you, then it's the right order!

Thanks for your article. It's useful.

Glad it was useful. The only thing it doesn't seem to cover is using the effects loop. Take a look at this article that explains the "4 cable method" - What is 4 Cable Method & How Do You Use It? - Andertons Blog
