It really depends on what tone you're trying to achieve. Do you plan to turn on more than one pedal at a time?
I've always subscribed to the thought that the last pedal in a chain has the most tonal control over the pedals before it. I could be wrong though.

What's the best gain boost for lead among the 3, sir? I think the BB preamp has the most fat sounding tone among the three?

I'd go fd2-shred-bb :-)

the last pedal on will impart its eq/sound the most. (I go SD into TIMMY)

many say its like building a tower.  start with what you feel is the foundation of your tone (many players prefer distortion as their soup base) then move on to the next.  like example, do you want a distorted delay or delay that's distorted?  it sounds the same banana, but to many its totally different.  

hope i made any sense  :wink:
