No problem! My knowledge of all things amplified has gone up 2000% since I joined this forum a few years ago. I talk to some of my musician friends and I sound like a roadie/tech. :)
Personally I love leaving music stores empty handed.... I feel so victorious. :thumb:

Topey - when you get "your" sound sorted out, CLIPS!!

When I leave a music store empty-handed, it's a bittersweet thing. I know that discipline, discretion (and let's be real, a bit of fear-o'-wife) have prevailed, but I can't un-hear the bits of magnificent gear gently calling my name...

In my case its mostly the all too real fear-o'-wife :cool:

Great choice of pedals and yes, we must have CLIPS!

All been said..

My choices are different some cause I set the amp clean and go from there with pedals. I play the same stuff through a DRRI and a AC30 in stereo.

low gain rhythm stuff -Cmatmads Butah
medium gain - Catilinebread Dirty Little Secret
High gain ( I swap this around)- Hot Cake or fuzz
Delay, slap back and somtimes many repeats - EHX Deluxe Memory man
Phase..a must - Ilike the Ibanez PT-9 or EHX Small Stone
Chorus..dont need or use
Tremolo - I'm using the MXR 159

I love the delay set for the original signal going to the AC30 with medium or high gain..the repeat is dedicated and only the repeat going to the DRRi with the butah for some low to medium gain..(only pedal I use my foot to go up and down with)

The Tremolo is always last so I can ping pong all other effects from amp to amp..from there I get chorus, Vibe and leslie tons.. you ever hear a phaser set slow and syrupy with a mild full dedicated ping pong accross a stage you'll never leave the house without stereo again.

I play the AC30 with out reverb and the DRRI with. the modulation only goes to the DRRI, medium dirt and high only go the AC30 ran together never off. I use both channels of both amps by switching back and forth in stereo two different ways.

CLIPS....how could I forget. I still have some tweaking to do, but I will post them soon. I don't have great recording device that I think would properly capture the sound the way I'd like (we've all seen those ridiculously low quality YouTube videos demoing a pedal wondering what was this guy thinking). I don't want to be "that guy".
I do have rehearsal with my band tomorrow, which we record each time using a [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Zoom-H2-Portable-Stereo-Recorder/dp/B000VBH2IG"]Zoom H2 recorder[/ame], which is decent enough. I will try to get a few settings recorded of just my guitar and amp with these pedals for you guys.

So my first recording attempt proved to be a bit too much for my H2 to handle....will have to reconfigure where I set the recorder up so that it doesn't clip. I will try again shortly and try to have something for y'all soon.
