Rule 1

It is key to have your guitar distortion pedals as the leaders of your chain because they are the basic of your guitar tone. Placing these pedals first in your chain to make sure that you are only distorting your true guitar sound. When you start to play with multiple effects, this keeps the integrity of the more complex effects pedals like chorus and flange in tact. These pedals carefully alter your guitar's signal, and distorting them could take away from their tone.

Rule 2

Some pedal types work better in certain parts of the signal path. Octave pedals or tuners. Take a example, don’t work with a distorted signal when you work with an undistorted signal at the same time, so they should be placed before the distortion.

Rule 3

Many great players (including Hendrix) placed the wah before distortion... Although most of the modern rock guys place it after distortion to make the frequency sweep cleaner. but as for me, I would rather play the Wah before distortion, but it's personal taste really. Depends a bit on the pedal too - how wide the frequency notch is and what frequency range it covers.Your foot moving control the frequency of the Wah boosts,and phasers cut a frequency electronically, so they are kinda similar.

So these are something I want to tell,I am the beginner of guitar playing,I often learn basic knowledge form Internet and other players,but I found is not a easy thing to buy a great guitar pedal online,how to adjust it perfectly with my guitar is more difficult than I have thought.
