Compressor placement... early of course but before wah?

cvogue

Yes, that's Oolong. :)
So as some of you have seen I have a new compressor pedal en route...

Was wondering whether it should go before or after my Crybaby Classic. I've googled and there are varying opinions on it. Basically it would be guitar->Banshee->tuner->wah->compressor->Phase 90->5150 OD->amp.

Question is do I want the wah sound compressed or the compressed signal going into the wah?

What say you peeps who have both?
 
Try them both and use the one that you like.

Typically it is after both I have seen it before as well.
 
My approach is, since compressors amplify all the noise of the pedals in front of it, to put it as early in the chain as you can...
