I know there is often debate about wether a wah pedal should go before or after any distortion FX. I have always place mine first in the chain without any issues. I recently bought a new Ernie Ball Wah, and a Satchurator. Used them at the last couple of gigs and found that with the Satch switched in, at medium to high gain, I experienced high pitched feedback when I operated the Wah. I did manage to eq it out on the amp, I just haven't experienced it before. Anyone run their wah's after distortion type effects ? The Satch has a pad switch for using after wah's but didn't seem to make any difference. I will probably try it out next time I get the chance to play at gig volume and see what the difference is.
 
I only ever get this when I have both my OD pedals plus my clean boost all on at the same time as the wah!!! Not a normal occurence! Try backing off the satchurator gain a tad more as a test.
