Ron, there's no wrong answer, but since the Lex is emulating a Leslie speaker, I'd try it toward the end of the chain, either before or after reverb. If you're going for a more realistic sound, a real Leslie would be followed by the natural reverb in the room, but no problem with the other way around either. Just depends on what you like.

I've got mine just before delay and reverb. Such a great pedal. The drive on it is particularly underrated IMO. I've got a faster setting with drive on a fav switch and it's really nice for a solo on the right song.

Thanks Mike, I was curious I always heard reverb should be last in the chain, so now I have the lex last in the chain

I'm assuming that the Delay, Reverb, and Lex is the general signal chain order consensus for Steel that you're using.
