Does chorus go before or after reverb?

Moving your modulation/delay/ reverb effects around can create different sounds. 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. Etc.
