Noise suppressor: IF!!! youre using one please let me know where youre putting it in your Pedal Switcher/Commander system.

Im using two pedal switchers btw. Anyhow:

Im thinking: guitar>{Pedal Switcher #1}wah>*NS2>ODR-1* (1)>compressor(?)>ODR-1(2)////{Pedal Switcher#2} MXR Carbon Copy short slap>Ibanes Ad9 long delay> rev....amp. (maybe put my tuner in the send of the left over loop, just the send so i can mute?)

(*) those two would be in one loop together using the NS2's loop. This is the first board of this type ive ever put together so im VERY green here. I want to use the second ODR1 as a lead beefy-boosty so i dont really want it in the loop with the other ODR1...im also crazy unsure of my compressor placement although i DO know that I like it BEFORE my OD (thats how it was in my old little board) but I cant really put the comp before the NS2 because it doesnt really work like a gate, it sends too much noise through causing the Suppressor to remain open and not really doing what its supposed to. Does any of that make sense?

I've used an NS-2 for years and I've always run it first in my signal chain, with everything else going thru the NS-2's loop. While the FX pedals I use are often swapped out for something else, the front and back ends of my signal chain always remains the same. I'm actually in the process of downsizing from a GCX/GCPro rig to a 4-pedal rig with a Pedal Switcher, so my new rig will look like this:

Guitar -> NS-2 In;
NS-2 Send -> Pedal Switcher Input;
Pedal Switcher Output -> NS-2 Return;
NS-2 Out -> Amp.

Now what works for me might very well not work for you, and since I don't use a Wah pedal I can't advise you on where to put that. However, I would suggest you put your tuner in Loop 1 of your first Pedal Switcher so as to mute everything ahead of your other pedals.
