Curious I'm just getting to trying this and am wondering where others place it in the chain and on the floor.
Right now I'm going

I'm having trouble finding workable real estate on the right!

first of all, check out the Pluetonium wah - it has an auto-on feature so that you don't have a mechanical switch that you have to press - which is hard to do when sitting down....it is half-size, you operate it with your toe, with your heel on the floor, like other effects pedals.

I put my effects on a small pedaltrain board that fit under the steel between the a-b-c pedals and the volume pedal, with the chain in the order pictured, right to left, when I used a wah...volume pedal last in the chain, so that it didn't change the amount of distortion when I used the Hotcake distortion pedal...and the wah was happier with full output from the steel also....but your wah or sonic preference might be different, it is easy to try both ways...

I use a Dunlop Q95 to the left of the volume pedal, with a Goodrich bracket to keep it in place. It also has the instant-on feature, and the pedal has a spring keeping it in the closed position when at rest. Works on a single neck, check to see if there's enough room on your D-10.

My Dunlop is also to the left of my Hilton(no bracket) VP on SD-10.

Works fine most of the time. If it wanders to the left any it creates an issue with the RKL. I just drag it back.

I used one early on in my career, and always placed it to the right of the volume pedal. For a ZB D10, it was not very feasible to use it on the left of the volume pedal. I finally just switched to an MXR Envelope Filter.
