when putting a rack together (i have one rack unit, looking at getting some more soon) does it matter what order they go in?

depends on the gear....

what do you have all together in your rig, and what else do you have in mind?

__________________

for rack stuff just that old ibanez msp
and im thinking about getting a bbe maybe en FX unit, like the carvin fx2, power conditioner and maybe a korg tuner for shits if I can find one at a good price

i still have my msp 1000.... i almost sold it several times.. but i'm glad i still have it. i'm actually thinking about getting another one if i can find one. so i can run dual mono with them(stereo).

anyways.

i'd run the bbe after the msp 1000, and the fx unit after them.... the tuner, try to feed it a dead end signal so it doesnt suck tone.

If you get the conditioner then that should probably go first, expecially if it has the lights. then the tuner, after that id just change it around to what you like best.

i dont think the signeal even goes into the conditioner at all

no signal goes into a power conditioner, that just cleans up your power a bit (depending on what kind you buy), and tuners usually receive a dead end signal (ie you dont route anything else after the tuner).

correct. the powercondish is basically a rackmount surge protector... but some like mine have filtering and stuff for clean power... others have voltage regulators that make sure you have a constant voltage.

tuners are tone suckers... best to kick them out of the chain and send them a dead end signal.
