shoegaze

I too now want a Guyatone reverb tank just to freak the sound guy out!

Is it worth me getting something like the Boss compression/Sustainer CS-3 ... I basically want to have much longer sustained sounds, (be that chords or whatever), and I'm not at all familiar with a sustainer pedal.

I have a behringer slow motion and even when dimed it is a subtle effect. It benefits greatly from having a compressor right in front of it. Still it kind of sucks. Anyone tried that crazy pigtronix attack filter? It should do the trick.

Anyways, I would go straight into the compressor and then into the slow motion, and then into the dirts/delays/modulation/tremolo/tuner for killswitch and finally one last reverb to end it all with a nice fade.

Just spend some time experimenting for yourself

let see, the "correct" order of pedals, that works for me :

guitar > tuner > reverb pedal > pitch shifter wh4 > tremolo > overdrive > good fuzz > amp

but then again...really there's no correct order.

I start with the tuner, then distortion, then reverb or tremolo, then time-based stuff like delay and chorus. The theory is that you want to echo the distorted guitar, not distort the echoes. Same with the reverb, and everything else. Imagine that you are recreating the sound of a large hall. The sound would come from the amp, distorted, then reverberate throughout the hall, then echoing. Don't feel like this is the only way to do it, though, because to achieve a certain atmospheric effect you might rather distort the echoes rather than the other way around. I just use the analogy of imagining a playing in a hall to order what pedal does what in my head. The only thing you want to do no matter what is put the tuner first, so you get the purest signal to it and the most accurate tuning. If you use a wah pedal, experiment with it before and after distortions, you can get a lot of different sounds out of it that way.
