Where to put tremolo in chain

The most common advice is to place your tremolo pedal at the end of your signal chain as you want it to magnify and vary the volume of the entire signal. But there are no limitations to the options that you can select for a suitable position. The tremolo pedals can be placed to satisfy your own needs.

Does tremolo go before or after reverb?

If you want tremolo'd reverb (for example, I'd call a Fender Princeton a reverb-into-tremolo effect), place your reverb before your tremolo. If you want chorus'd delay, try placing your chorus after your delay.

Where do you put whammy in chain?

Yup. In front of the amp, first in the chain. The basic rule is that time-based effects (chorus, delay, reverb, etc) go in the loop. The Whammy does pitch shifting and has a slightly funky bypass so...

Where should tuner go in pedal chain?

The tuner pedal should go first in the effect signal chain. This is to allow the cleanest signal into the pedal for viewing the most accurate tuning pitch. Positioning the tuner pedal after other effects (distortion, modulation, EQ pedals, etc) can distort the notes in the signal affecting pitch accuracy.

Where do you place a noise gate in a signal chain?

Where does a noise gate go in your signal chain? In some ways, this is subjective. Naturally, you'll want to place the noise gate wherever the noise is, for example after your fuzz pedal. It's most common, however, to put it at the end of your chain but before any ambient pedals such as delay and reverb.
