where do you put your boost?

Hootsmon

before or after your ODs?

...and pleeeeease don't say.. "in the fridge beside the Mars Bar"

Depends, clean volume boost, post dirt, gain boost pre-dirt.

Example, using the amp for dirt

Clean boost - MXR Microamp - in loop

Gain boost,- Bad Monkey/SD-1 - into the front of the amp.

The fridge doesn't get a look in. Seriously though on my rocket boots.

I used to use an SHO first in line more as a buffer to make everything sound more "sparkly" and clear. I've also used it after a quiet OD pedal (Boss OD2) to raise the level without altering it's grit.

One before, one after.

Same as not_the_dj who somehow managed to pick up a LOL for that???? Compressor and low gain OD pedals first followed by an EP Boost into an OCD to push it and thicken things up and then a Catalinbread Serrano Picoso boost after the OCD but before my modulations and delays for a pure volume boost.

I've always gone low to high in boosts... so pre gain to push a bit more grit

However, some might rather a volume boost rather than a gain boost, so after gain

I only ever use dirty/gain boosts really though, so might be different on 'textured' boosts such as the ep

I go guitar > koko boost > XTS precision overdrive > amp.

I get a lovely clean boost from the koko, then if I'm using the XTS and kick the koko on it gives it a nice lift for solos.

I'm going pick up another spark mini soon to do exactly this.

You could try the Mick Jagger / Marianne Faithful method with that
