Where to put green ringer in effects order...

[giantsteps]

I know I should probably just go through every location...call me lazy, but where would you put a green ringer (recently built GGG XMas gift from my wife!) in this effects order?

Guitar -->
Crybaby Wah Wah
Silicon Fuzz Face Clone
Fulltone OCD
EHX Small Clone
Roger Mayer Voodoo Vibe
Line 6 Delay Modeler --->
Vox AC30

Thanks,

Chris

I'd put it before any modulation device, in this case: between the OCD and the Small Clone.  Green Ringer-ed chorus would be weird.

Many Green Ringers need to be pushed a little harder than they normally are, on their own, in order to extract the best octave-up from them.  For that reason, I would recommend that wherever you eventually put it. it be preceded by something that can provide the needed boost.  I suspect that would mean placing it after the OCD, wherever the OCD is placed in the sequence.

I love the sound of an octave up AFTER modulation effects, especially if the octave up is pushed into fuzzy territory.

The octave up does cool things with the overtones produced by wahs, phasers, vibes, etc... but it is a very specific sound, not one you hear around in a lot of places.

It sounds cool after a reverb too, but it can produce a kind of weird ring modulated sound against the decaying notes...

I know it's not what you wanted to hear, but I think you should experiment to get sounds you think are cool

I have mine very first in my chain. I think I tested location before and found that when its first it gets better response. Secondly, I find it sounds better before the dirt pedals, which are all before the amp, so that's where I put it. But I totally agree, if it sounds right, it is right.
