You can put it where you like, different positions would give you different sounds. Some people put it at the start of their effects chain, some people at the end.

depends on what your trying to accomplish with the pedal like said previously. If you want to use it as a master volume control place it at the beginning of your chain. If you place it in between two pedals like a ovedrive and a chorus im not sure exactly what it would accomplish but id experiment with it to find out what you like.

Okay, first of all, this is not directed soley at you EMB. Okay, anything with pedals about asking for an answer on where to put them in your pedal board or whatever, there is no answer. Just play with it and do what sounds best to you.

Sorry for the random rant,
