Can anyone tell me if this is the correct way to hook-up?--Steel>Boss DS1(distortion) >Dunlop Crybaby (wah) >Boss DD3>Goodrich Vol.Ped.>Amp(Nash. 400).The second output of my Vol. Pedal>Boss TU2.I've heard that the Vol. Ped. should be the last in line.Thanks Jim

Hey Jim,
I had a problem putting my Boss DD-3 before the volume pedal. Sometimes I would get a distorted sound. Now I run the effects
after the pedal (don't know if that applies
to all effects but it definitely helped
me with the digital delay)

I would put the Delay after the volume pedal. This way the delay repeats aren't cut off when the volume pedal is pulled back in volume.

Thanks guys for your help.I have placed my DD3 after the VP and found this to be much better.-Jim
