Need advice for solo boost pedals , wahs and FX loops.

I'm gonna buy an amp with an FX loop so I can do the solo boost thing. I tried it on the new marshall studio amps at the demo day and it worked well. Decent amount of level, no hiss and seemed transparent if you wanted it to be.

So now I need to work out how I'm going to build a board to make this work.

I'll be using a tubescreamer set to clean boost which will be on all the time.

I was using a boss GE7 and a wah for leads into the front end,

So I'm wondering - whats the best way for me to set this up??

Is there a boost pedal I can use thats better than the GE7 ? I'd like something smaller with a lower noise floor if possinle.
What would I do with the wah??? It's got a volume boost as well so would that go in the loop too or is it different with wahs??
I've also go ta delay but I've not unboxed it yet.

    A TC Mini Spark would do the trick for a simple clean boost that’ll sit in the loop with minimal footprint.

    The wah should sit in front of the amp; they’re not designed to go in fx loops.

    Put the GE7 (and delay) in the fx loop. 

    Put the crybaby and TS9 into the front of the amp. 

    Tuner > Wah > TS9 > amp input 

    Delay > GE7 in the loop. 

    Done.

    I do this.  It's perfect.  Splendid volume boost for solos
