Go read this first: http://www.bossus.com/bugonline/how_to.asp?art=order

Some recommend you try a compressor after distortion while others like distortion after a phaser. There are no hard, fast rules.. only guidelines.

Generally speaking, you want tuners, wahs, envelope-detectors, & compressors up front. Next you'll see distortions & overdrives, then modulation pedals such as phasers, flangers, etc. Finally we have chorus, delay, EQ, enhancers, & loopers.

With regards to your specific pedals, try the following order & see how your ears like it:

TU-2, NS-2, CS-3, AC-2, BD-2, MT-2, DC-2, CE-5, DD-3

You can use the LS-2 to split out your distortions & choruses like so:

TU-2, NS-2, CS-3, AC-2, LS-2 >> BD-2, DC-2
>> MT-2, CE-5
>> DD-3

Think of the TU-2 as running two loops, 1 for rhythm, the other for lead, or 1 for chorusy, melodic passages, the other for higher gain, swooshing effects, & searing leads. You can also use it to isolate a tuner out of your chain or noisy pedals when you don't necessarily need them in all the time.

I'm quite sure others will chime in. Don't be afraid to "search" the site here for "pedal order". Good luck, welcome to the forum, & turn your Caps-Lock off!

Hey there Stevie, welcome to the forum!!!

The manuals can be found at bossus.com
and any other manuals are on this forum, as well as tons of info and sample settings.

Heres my stab at it...

CS3>>AC3>>BD2>>MT2>>BF2>>TR2>>DC2>>DD3>>CE5
the last three could go either way

as with your other pedals, the TU2 could go first
put your od/dist/flange in your NS2 loop to cut the background noise
now the LS2 has a lots of neat things you can do with it.
You could switch between the AC2 and above NS2 and the TR2
Blend the BF2 in input A and the TR2 in B with the incoming sound
I could go on and on, but let your ears decide.

p.s. please don't type in caps, it hurts some peoples eyes
