How do you use a Zvex SHO & where is it in your chain?

Appreciate all the good input

Depends upon the headroom in your chorus/delay. I had to run mine after my AM Mini Chorus as it just doesn't have enough headroom for the boost I was running. ALso depends upon whether you want to boost your signal into the delay or just bring up your overall level, delays and all.

I would put it dead last, especially if you might boost with it. It will probably exceed the headroom on pedals placed after it, and it adds clarity to all pedals in front of it.

I´ll use mine as a booster at the end but it sounds great as a buffer so actually I want it in all the time. I´m thinking about getting another one for boost at the end and putting this one in the front as line driver. Or, getting a superduper at the end.
