Where to put external effects with M13 using 4 cable method

Greetings.  I just ordered an M13 and have a question about hooking it up when it arrives.  I plan on using the 4 cable method, and also a couple of external pedals.  I will be going from the guitar to a compressor, into a volume pedal, and then the M13.  I aslo have a DigiTech Trio and JamMan Solo XT, and I am usure of where to place them in the signal chain.  Should they be placed between tha amp's FX Send and the M13, or between the M13 and the Amp's FX Return?  I attached a pic of the cabling diagram, so hopefully someone can point me to the proper place to put these two pedals.  Thanks in advace.post-2308200-0-82538700-1448661660_thumb.png

Ther's no 'right' answer. You can place them individually wherever you want in the signal chain relative to the other amp/fx placements.

 

There are four options corresponding to the four cables:

- at the very front of the chain, before the M13, as you describe with other fx

- post initial M13 fx but pre amp: in the M13 fx loop but before your amp (between the M13 FX Send and the amp input)

- post amp but pre M13 second stage fx (between the amp fx send and the M13 return)

- at the very end of the chain (between the M13 output and the amp fx return)
