Did there used to be a making music sub forum?
No matter, I wish to discuss guitar pedals with fellow nerds.
So, this is my capsule effect pedal board:

I’ve never been big on effects. I’ve had the Fab Tone since the 90s. It’s an old fashioned sound, but it’s part of my sound now, so I have no intention of replacing it.
I should probs swap the positions of the Acoustikar and the Rotosound (cream and pink, in the middle), but I never run the former through the latter, so I’m not sure it matters on such a small board. The boost at the end of the chain is for volume jumps in solos and so on, not for tone.
And that’s all I’ve needed of late. I’ve prided myself on keeping it pared back. (I have a bag with my second shelf effects, which I occasionally swap in. For example a Fender tremolo for that sixties sound).
Now. I’ve been coveting an Electro-Harmonix B9 organ simulator.

And I recently put a bid in on a used one on a well-known market site. If I win the big square bugger, fellow musos, should I place it off the board before the distortion pedals (which I won’t have on when using the B9 pedal), or should I get a bigger board and put it in the conventional place before the reverb?
I’m second guitar in this band, not strictly rhythm, but if it was early Humble Pie I’d be Steve Marriott to my mate’s Frampton. I take the occasional lead break, but I’m mainly Steve Croppering (not as well, mind!) my way through chords, fills and licks under the first guitarist.
I play through a 60s Marshall plexi on a 4 x 12 Marshall wedge, mic’ed up through a PA.
So, thoughts.
