Great video. What is in your opinion the best stack position, before or after the Dream?.

[@kevindaoust]

Hey! Thanks for the question! My favourite placement is the delay after the Dream (much like putting a delay in an amp's effects loop). The delays are cleaner and clearer, even when using distortion. If you're running pedals straight into a clean amp, I would put the delays after any distortion/overdrive sources to get that same effect. Putting delay before distortion (whether it's pedals or amp distortion) means that the repeats themselves will also distort and compress, leading to a more aggressive ambience (which may work for you, depending on your preferences). I only prefer delay before distortion with slap-back sounds (think rockabilly).

Cool, thank you.
