I want to make sure I'm running these pedals in the correct order. I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place but......here's what I've got:
Guitar into-tuner/wah/bbe boosta grande/DOD Octoplus/earthquaker Monarch/behringer fx600/modtone mini delay/ISP Decimator -out to amp.
I'm thinking about adding a BBE sonic stomp as well. Thanks guys!

Stuff like this normally goes in the "Gear" section but ILF is kind of like pedal order in the sense that it doesn't really matter what goes where.
If I were you, I'd sit down when I had some time on my hands and try all your peds in different spots to
see what YOU think is going to get the sound that YOU want.
There aren't really any rules to it and there's definitely no such thing as "correct order". Just have fun!

Indeed, was about to say the same thing.

Have fun!

+1 to everything that's been said
Half the fun with pedals is seeing how they react when you change the order of things. The whole process of figuring out what order and which pedals works best for you has always felt sonic alchemy to me. So, go turn your tone to gold!

What about adding a sonic stomp, would that replace the boosta grande? I use the boost to push the monarch over the edge, it stays on all the time.

Maybe? For the price it won't be to risky to pick one up and see what you think.
Who knows, you might end up keeping them both.

Well I've decided to try a bbe green screamer to boost my monarch. it will replace the bbe boosta grande, instead of adding a sonic stomp to my board. Hopefully it will work.

Depends on the tuner, too, like if it has a buffer or anything. Is it a BOSS? Sometimes you don't want a buffer at the front of your chain. But yeah, different orders are going to give different results... For instance, I've always preferred my phasers after fuzzes, but there are just as many guitarists that like their phasers before fuzz.
It all depends on how you feel today!

It's a Behringer TU 300. This might be a stupid question but what's "buffered"?

Not a stupid question. Here, I'll point you to a thread of mine from when I joined this forum a looooooooong time ago:

is the octoplus just an octaver or shifter
i have the best luck with octave stuff
after dirt and before delay
but after kind of destroys it
which is what im goin for usually
i spent alot of time tryin different orders
but havent a while
now when i get new stuff they drop in an empty slot
need to do this again soon
good luck and most of all have fun
remember theres no right order
if it sounds good to you its perfect
if not BUY MORE STUFF
no,thats not the answer

The Octoplus is just an octave (down) pedal. The Fx600 has a pitch shifter but I never use it. Yeah I run my Octoplus before dirt, it sounds like poop after. Yeah Im pretty happy now with my board I'm going to remove the boosta grande and pop in the green screamer, in and out. Since Im using the G.S as a boost it should be fine, I hope
