    Default I got a Booster. Placement in the effects chain?

    I got a custom-made booster pedal.

    The problem is that I don't know where to put it in my effects order...

    First? After the wah? Before the overdrive pedals? After them? Last?
    Where?

    Try putting it last, but if you use delay, reverb or chorus before the amp, you can try putting those after the boost.

    1) my Pro Jr (I will change the stock speaker with an Eminence one)
    2) my Squier 51 (I will put on some GFS pups)

    So these clips will have an extra interest (at least I think so...)

    I've been happy running mine late in the chain too after everything.

    Mine is first, after the tuner. It boosts the drive pedal this way too. Whatever works for you...

    I haven't been playing long enough to know for sure but from what I have read they suggested any boost or overdrive be last and reverbs and EQ's be in the effects loop if possible.

    Yes, delays and reverbs definitely sounds best in an effects loop, but not all amps have this.

    Robert I think that this is more obvious, when someone uses the preamp overdrive of his amp.

    When you use only the clean channel of the amp (like I do), I have a feeling that using the delay & reverb before the preamp, isn't so bad
