I always put it first. That's just me.

I have mine last. Here is my signal:

ISP Decimator -> Maxon OD9 (for occasional clean boosting) -> Dunlop Cry Baby. I have tried it a few ways and like the way it sounded this way best. YMMV

Always first for me, but I think it really depends on what you like sonically. The sound and response will change based on where you place it, especially if one of the pedals before the wah buffers the signal.

First

But I just switched to an HD 500, so I'll be trying different things.

always been a first guy. i did try the wah in the m9 which put it after gain, and did not like it at all, but it could have just been the m9 wah.

Same answer, same reason.

Me.

Guitar -> Tuner -> Wah -> Overdrive -> Amp

With tone and oneness, Mike

First, tried it in other positions and it just sounds better to me first.
