I've only recently started using effects, after years of only havin' an Overdrive pedal between the guitar and the amp.
Did experience terrible signal loss at first and then, followin' some advice, I routed the "time" effects to the FX loop of my amp and the results are incredible!
Now I've got my TONE back with added benefits.
My signal goes as follows: Fulltone Fulldrive2 - Morley Wah - Amp.
MXR Phase90 - Ibanez Chorus - Ibanez Tonelock Delay - through the fx loop.
By goin' this way I've de-routed the "time" fx (the more signal-suckers of all...!) out of the way and the Morley and Fulltone, bein' really high quality & true-bypass, I don't even notice and, like I said before, I got my TONE back.
Two more things though; I've noticed that puttin' the Overdrive before the Wah Wah makes the later way more expressive (well, you wah wah the distortion, not the other way 'round!) and second, I've just got hold of an 80's Pearl Overdrive and the thing is sooooo jucily soundalicious that it might, just might, replace the Fulltone, but I'm not sure about that yet.
