So, I'm building a Dr. Boogie and a TS808 for a friend.
He wants to be able to have both on at the same time, so I'm wiring it that way.
Should the 808 be first and drive the Boogie?  and why? Would it sound like crap?
I'm going to use Dragonfly's switching diagram.
What about power? Should I use two jacks, or just share power. I'm not going to have this run on batteries. What would the benefits be either arrangement? As well, does anyone know how to do it properly? A diagram would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I used to run two overdrives, one into the next and found that the lower gain into higher gain setup worked best for me.

I built a dual BSIAB and they share power. My dual Mosferatu also shares power. A friend of mine has a TS clone, BSIAB and clean boost all in one package and they all share power as well. Most supplies used for effects pedals provide much more current capability than any two overdrives will draw.

Make sure the grounds from each board tie together to help avoid ground loops.
