My head is spinning...help re-doing my pedal board

[shikawkee]

Maybe I've just been pondering this too much and reached saturation but would appreciate some ideas. This is really a new board, to add to my other three (ouch!!) but incorporating some new purchases. This is what I've got to work with for ambient/avant-garde/free jazz and rock:

Mid Fi Demo Tape Fuzz, Wooly Mammoth, Truck Loud OD, Boomerang 3 and Lo Fi Loop Junky, Catlinbread Heliotrope, Catlinbread Pareidolia, TC Flashback Delay, Strymon El Capistan, Verbzilla (for Octo), Z.Cat Big Reverb (for swells, it does this incredibly well) and Z.Cat Hold Reverb (hold the trails of the reverb) and EH Freeze. That's basically the order I have them in so far but I'm not sure about the loopers and EH freeze positions. I also may use the El Cap for looping (the TC Flashback can do it too though I haven't tried it yet). I also have a This1sMyne buffer I'm thinking of putting after my volume pedal to begin the chain. Am I on the right track? Ideas? Thanks a ton.

Will the tape fuzz and wooly mammoth be ok with a buffer in front of them? Maybe put the buffer after those if so. I use a freeze, and I decide placement like this: Which effects do I want to use without affecting the freeze's 'loop'? These go before. What effects do I want to affect the freeze's 'loop'? These go after. With the freeze on, a boost at the end of the chain will boost the guitar, and the freeze, but a boost at the beginning will only boost the guitar. Hope that helps. If thats obvious to you already, I apologize. I might put one of the reverbs after the freeze personally. Good luck! Should be a sweet board.

Good suggestions. Much appreciated.

P.S.-it seems the buffer has to go between the Tape Fuzz and Wooly or the Wooly freaks out. Interesting....
