Wah -> ab-synth okay???
I know some fuzz pedals dont like having a Wah before them. How does the Absynth feel about this?

It goes both ways. I had a bass wah before and after. I ended up preferring after, but that's just because it'd manipulate the oscillation.

^I agree
My algal bloom has oscillation and putting it after my wah takes a lot of manipulating options away so it's first in my chain followed by wah.

That is not to say that it cant be put after a wah. It all comes down to personal taste really

This applies, so much.

Some wahs just don't like to sit there after a half dozen of dirt boxes,

Man, I'm the exact opposite of you guys... I've always loved putting a wah in front of my fuzzes, so it swept the fuzz and brought out all these wonderful colours...

Hey, it's a matter of taste, said the dog when cleaning himself.

Two guys are watching a dog lick its own crotch.
One guy says, "I wish I could do that."

I think it's okay either way, depending on your tastes.
Though my gut would say AB-Synth-->Wah, for the best interaction with oscillation.
