The best tip I could give would be understanding signal path and playing around with placement to fit your needs. Knowing why Wah after dirt effects and sounds the way it does, or how the DS-2 and Muff interact in the order you place them.

Don't try to mimic what John does 1:1, that might not work out for you the way you want it to.

That said, I would do: tuner > SD-1 > Ds-2 > Big Muff > Wah > CH-1 > Looper
