It's all pretty subjective. There is no "wrong way" to do it. You get a different sound depending on what pedal you have in what order. I've always put my tuner last in the chain as it works as a mute switch. If you're in a multi-guitarist band and hear you're out of tune, you can click it to tune up without replacing your guitar sound with hissing from the overdrive you're using.
I usually put my wah first in my rig as I prefer the sound of the wah being distorted. It makes it more dynamic then putting it after the distortion. I also recommend running the overdrive before the distortion. A tube screamer or the like is a good way to put a little edge on your guitar without fuzzing the sound out too much. When you hit that distortion, you're firing out strong for leads. Volume works best near the end of the chain if you can do it. That way the sound stays smooth regardless. If you run it before your distortion pedals, all you'll do is cut the amount of fuzz for a bit...then signal will die out. Again though, it depends on when you run your distortion and where.
My current setup is: Guitar-Wah-Big Muff (Russian, at low sustain)-Litte Big Muff (maxed out)-Small Stone-Electric Mistress-Tuner...
For quieter shows: Guitar-Wah-Tube Screamer (set for a bit of bite)-Big Muff-Small Stone-Echo-Electric Mistress (flanger to one amp, clean to another) and my tuner to the flanged amp so clean amp so I can kill that signal if needed.

Check out that link. I put 20 or so pics I shot from the show in a zip. Hope you enjoy them.

Yes, a taper would be epic. I still listen to the recording from 2005. Good stuff.

Hey folks! I covered the Houston show the other night and wanted to share the links to the coverage with you all.
And here's a picture so you know I'm not some evil spambot.
Nels Jazzmaster

It's a Jazzmaster. It's black with a black pickguard. The pickguard is more of a "satin finish" it's not shiny. It's 100% Jazzmaster. Guitarists can rarely settle on a guitar, and even if they love a certain type, they want to try them all. Fender did the J Mascis Signature...maybe they're working on a Nels Signature.
