I have 3 basic pedals I use with my acoustic.
1.Boss CS3 Comp/Sustain
2.Ibanez Digital delay
3.Danelectro Fish and chips 7 band EQ.
I use them in that order and then
4.to the Micro BR (for my backing tracks or more FX) and out to my amps.
Is there a better order or just different. (EG EQ first?) I think there's 9 ways to arrange and it's impossible to remember if one is slightly better..

There aren't any rules, but the order does affect the sound. So just experiment and take note of the combinations that you like so you can repeat them easily.

There are lots of web pages on the subject. Here are a few:

I got it right according to the first one.
Compressor -> EQ->Delay.

I think M-G-M has the standard order of effects there.
