hey all

when i first started playing electric i impulsed and bought about 4 pedals, the CH-1, DD-3, FL-2, and EQ-1 ( i think). Then i went digital with the Zoom 707 and i thought it was great for a while until i became a better guitar player. I still like a lot of the dirty sounds that i've created but i'm thinking of going back to the stomp boxes, i might have a few questions as the digital 707 pretty much didn't actually TEACH me about effects and why they work and how to get the best sounds. Sure i played with all the knobs till i found something that sounded good, but still. . .

anyway, first and maybe last question!!:
what is the "proper" order to set up effects going from Guitar to amp. Assume i also havea distortion pedal of some kind as well, and a distortion boost pedal. I have the above listed boxes and a Boss Volume pedal and a vox gain boost box. . .

any sites that will help me with as well? I can get decent sounds, but i'd like to have them in the correct order and know why that is the correct order.

thanks in advace.
