Help me with my Pedal Board setup

[bwgintegra]

I am building a new board and trying to get everything sorted out. I would like your guys opinion on what order you would set the pedals up.

Loop pedals- send- El Cap- Blue sky- Koko Boost- return
KoKo boost used for volume boost for solos

Front of amp pedals- Guitar- wah- tuner- Shive Drive- TS- Phaser- Chorus- Amp
I'm also going to use a Flanger but don't have it yet, so where's the best spot for that?

What do most of you guys do with the Chorus? I know some people run it up front and others in the loop, what's the difference?

Thanks

Id swap the Chorus and the Koko because I like a Chorus in the loop better than out front and Ive never heard of anyone using a drive pedal in the loop, does that work for you?

i would go chorus-Delay-reverb
and actually the phaser can go before or after the overdrive. it sounds more intense after the overdrive

The Koko is a clean boost and works perfect in the loop for solo volume boost. I have been using with my Friedman .

Funny Jerry , what are you saying I need more pedals or more tone. What exactly is your MORE pedal all about?

I like my phaser before my overdrive and my chorus in the loop.

I would put the Koko out front after the TS and and get a "Suhr ISO Boost" for the loop.
The mid boost feature on the Koko is fantastic in front of an amp...

 

[EWSEthan]

I really wish the koko had separate ins and outs for both sides of the pedal. That way you could run the clean boost in front to drive the amp harder and the midboost side in the loop for a volume and mid bump for solos. Oh well.

Thanks guys for all the information, defiantly helped me out!

I like the phaser pre-overdrive, since that keeps it pretty consistent regardless of OD on/off. Chorus is my last pedal in front, as I use it to split for stereo. Delay/reverb are usually best in the loop, although some prefer a tape delay/space echo type out front. Best bet is to start where it makes sense and then swap a little until you get the result you prefer.
