Hi,
Ah yes I have used all of these and here are some stacks I have used.
And this sequence is implied: guitar>effect>effect>amplifier
HBOD>BBOD ( Volume of HBOD needs to be unity not to overload BBOD)
BBOD>DRD gives a high gain sound ( drive and distortion levels give clearest results at below noon to noon)
DRD>SBEQ I have used on many Fenderamps SBEQ just removes some things I don't want to hear
HBOD>DRD is one stack I use on MP CS-40
DRD or BBOD>HBOD I have used on some amps
BBOD>LGW gives a smooth sound shall we say expensive
LGW>MRD gives a tight high gain sound that plas swiftly for lack of better description ( Drive and Dist levels prefered at noon and then noise is low too comparitively to the amount of gain.
LGW>DRD gives a defined high gain sound
DRD>LGW is useful when a midhump is needed to project sound
MRD > Blackface fenders.........woohoo
I have used PGC in conjuction with all of these, while lately I have shifted to an FGC and used that in sustain mode.
Usually I'd try to get a dynamic sound even if gain levels are high- this is ofcourse mostly useful if it fits playingstyle.
Funny thing here is that using playing dynamics is something I learnt from playing in a punkband at noisy clubs and then changing distortionlevels at about the same volume just by hand is useful to project - the rest of projection is frequencycontent related.
Have fun
