where in my chain of guitar pedals would I put a tube driven rotary pedal?

I recently purchased a Leslie simulator rotary pedal for my guitar and it's tube driven. I'm curious at what point I should put it in my line of other pedals. Other pedals I have are.. chromatic tuner, wah wah pedal, distortion pedal, phaser and a chorus pedal.

    The guy above is right it really doesn't matter but some effects sound different in the chain. Simple example distortion/overdrive and wah. The signal boost from the wah makes most distortion pedals freak out a bit which might sound good to you or you might like the tone of the opposite way.. Hard to explain tone 2 different sounds to me but can't explain it. Anyways I would start like this Guitar-tuner-wah-leslie-chorus-distortion-phaser-amp. If you don't like it the first move i would do is swap the chorus and the leslie. This is provided you are running them all into the front of your amp. If you have an effects loop I would put the leslie and the chorus in the loop off the jump.

    Your pedal placement is all about feeling. where it feels best to you to be. If you want it center, put it center, or farther to one side or another, put it there. The order you put them In does not matter one bit.
