This is probably a stupid question, but...
I just got my first compression pedal, and I'm a little baffled as to where in line it goes. I use a distortion pedal, and echo pedal as well. Would the compression go before the distortion?

I was trying to think it through logically, which, in my mind, put the compression before the distortion, but I wasn't quite sure. However, I would have thought the time-based effects would go at the end.

I put the time-based effects at the end of the chain.

You'll get good results if you follow the "comp before dist" rule of thumb, but you'll get the BEST results if you play around with the order and see what works best with YOUR gear and YOUR ears. And don't be afraid to play around with amp and pedal settings.

For the 3 pedals you mention, I'd start with Compression -> Distortion -> Delay.
But as others have said, different pedals react differently when combined. You may find that a different order works best with the specific pedals you have.

If your amp has an effects loop you may want to put the time-based effects there.

That's what I would have assumed, but I guess I should play around with other combinations too.
