What's the common order of effects Edge uses on his songs?
I have a Boss multi-effects pedal, and the order can be changed for example:

guitar > Delay > wah > overdrive > amp

Does Edge's delay go into his overdrive, or vice versa?

Stuff like that, ta! :D
 
Usually delay comes last, just before reverb. Although if it works for you, keep doing it.

Edge's delay also seems to come last, although the Amnesta guy claims Edge runs a 20ms short delay in front to thicken up his sound. But I don't hink anyone knows for sure what order he uses. Edge's signal routing seems to be an even greater mystery as his effects and their settings.
 
There is a great article about effects and effects orders etc in this months Guitar Player magazine. Check it out.

Great bits from Pete Cornish, who makes effects racks/boards for David Gilmour, Porl Thompson and Jimmy Page, to name a few.
