Re: sound opinion required
One thing to consider.. (sorry not an actual answer)
If you are planning on using the EQ to boost the signal volume as a whole, it would probably pay to see how well the compressor can cope with the boosted signal, if the signal is really hot, some pedals can go a bit spastic.
Also... have you considered adding a switch so you can change the order of the pedals on the run?

Ummm....

Re: sound opinion required
Good point. My first thought was EQ first. (Actually my first thought today was "urrrgh, coffeeee"). Tone shaping then compressing. But yes you might make the comp spaz if you throw too much level at it.
So I guess the trick is to try them one way or the other while they're still separate and see how they sound.
I also recall past discussions where some people use an EQ at each and of the pedal chain to shape the tone pre and post effects.

Re: sound opinion required
if you intend using narrow bands on the EQ, then you should compress after..cos the notes with fundamentals and harmonics at the boosted freq will become louder..the comp will keep things smooth.

Re: sound opinion required
should think of an EQ more as a minusing device rather than a boosting
as in pulling back frequencies that cause problems I know you can boost but it isn't really what they are for

Hurdy Gurdy.... some how... and I'm not entirely certain how mind you, an instrument that sounds like someone has shoved a nest of angry hornets into a goose with a kazoo bill and is randomly slapping the poor creature with an accordion.... Sounds amazing.

Re: sound opinion required
yes, like most of the Boss stuff I've tried it's taken a bit of fannying around to get it on song.
Pleased your experiment went well, do you have any recordings up?
