Please help me with pedal order

I want to create a board I can simply plug in super fast that give my access to all my pedals for using at home and recording.
Keep trying to resolve an order but keep changing my mind so I though I would ask for ideas.
I suppose its most/best sound options and flexability.
I like to play 90's Rock, Shoegaze etc. and like aspects of all the pedals

The pedal order I have at the mo is:

Boss TU-3 tuner
Mellowtone Singing Tree Lite
LM 308 Turbo RAT
Wren & Cuff Box of War
Devi Silver Rose
Creepy Fingers Supafuzz Clone
EHX Hot tubes (78 solid state)
Infanem Compact Faye Sing
TC Repeater Delay

I have a double looper sitting on the sidelines too.

I have space for one more pedal if there was something that was missing. Thanks for your advice.

I'd go:
tuner > Supafuzz (I'm assuming you mean his mkI bender variant) > box of war > silver rose > rat > hot tubgirl > singing tree > faye sing > repeater
A lot of that is just personal preference for cascading dirt pedals.

Tone Benders DO like to be up front, and some people prefer phaser up front as well to make it less intense.

I'm noticing a serious lack of reverb in your setup, can't shoegaze without it :lol:

Thanks for the advice especially about the phaser. That one is on the way to me now.
I have amp reverb but was looking at a digital reverb pedal. Maybe a boss RV-5 or something. A little limited by space left (and money) to go for anything super dooper.
It is the permutation and stacking that I am struggling with.
I could put a fuzz either side of the phaser so I could have the best of both.
With 2 overdrives I could have one pre and one post fuzz.
I suppose a lot of that is trial and error. My head hurts.

Go to online pedal retailer. Click on pedal you want to order. Add to cart. Check out.

What more help than that do you need?

There was some decent pedal order discussion (it started about phasers) here:

If you are offering you could give me a recommendation on a decent, well made, cheap digital delay.

I answered humorously because I think Gunner Recall nailed it. I might, however, swap around the order of some of those dirt pedals. (Like 'e said, personal preference.)

I'm not really a fan of digital delay. (I'm strictly an analog man, myself.)

Were I to purchase a digital delay, I think I'd go for the TC/PGS Alter Ego. (I'm basing this on the PGS demo & everyone's love of the Flashback. So, YMMV.)

I really like the Nova Repeater and see they do a reverb. Is it just the same as the flashback rehoused?

I saw that alter ego. just come out? I had a 616 lofi from PGS and it did not really do it for me. I think that PGS guy makes everything sound great.

That RRR is dr. scientist right? That flashback seems like a deal but it is a delay right not a reverb? I will have to have a look and listen to these pedals. Thanks.

Yeah, PGS Andy makes everything sound good.

Yeah, the Alter Ego just came out.

Yeah, RRR is Dr. Scientist.

Yeah, the Flashback is a delay and not a reverb. (Hall of Fame is their reverb.)

Chankgeez. What order would you put the dirt in then?
