Which is the best way to hook up your delay and echo pedals? I have mine from guitar to echo to delay to amp.Is this the correct way?

| Sure, that works. If you have a dirt pedal, people usually put the delay after it or in the amp's effect loop. |

| I've always ran Delay then reverb. Right or wrong that's the way I've done it for the last 45 years. |

I sometimes run a little over drive pedal (I barely use it; and keep it cranked down quite a bit..it's more of a little boost..The EHX Soul Food pedal).
That goes first after guitar, THEN, if you want into a Volume pedal. I run the volume pedal when I use it after the overdrive. Overdrive and dirt pedals react to signal strength a lot. So I only want the overdrive reacting to my picking dynamics and NOT the volume pedal, I run it before the volume pedal.
AFTER the volume pedal, I go into a delay (MXR Carbon Copy, usually), if I use it.
The last pedal before the amp is my reverb pedal. I use either a Topanga Spring reverb, or a Digitech pedal called " Supernatural Ambient Reverb". I like the room verb setting on that one, but if I want spring reverb sound I use the Topanga.
Anyway; there's no real rules; but generally you want the last pedal before your amp to be a reverb (if you are using one, or just use the amp's reverb).
If no reverb pedal; then last pedal before amp can be delay (or echo).
Basically: Guitar----dirt pedal----volume pedal----delay-----reverb---amp.
Or just go straight to amp and no pedals |

I use a Boss RV3 with delay and reverb, so I only have one pedal that does both.
