Default Clean boost in signal chain

'morning.

I'm currently going like this with my acoustic guitar set-up:

GTR > Boss TU2 > BBE OptoStomp > EHX LPB-1 > EHX Neo Clone > Marshall RG1 > EHX Memory Toy > DI > PA

So I'm basically boosting the signal (when needed, fingerpicking or solos) before modulating it. This sounds better to my ears than effecting the signal and THEN boosting it. I know there's no right or wrong way to do it, but I'm curious as to where acoustic guitarists put their booster in the chain.

Thoughts ?

For optimum gain-staging, it's better to put the LPB-1 right after the TU-2's pass through.

I run tu2 - mxr line driver - cs3 compressor - super octave - overdrive - chorus - delay - wah - looper - eq/direct box - pa. Use for acoustic and also same setup for electric to my guitar amp. Tried line driver at end also and preferred in front also. Could not tell you exactly why ? Fun toys !
