I just ordered a 50W Overtone Special.  This is my first experience with these amps.  I'm coming from a rig where I put everything in front of a Super Reverb.   With the OTS, I'll use the onboard drive, wah, delay, a reverb unit of some kind, and a Boss TU-2 Tuner.    Sounds like I'll need an effects buffer so I'm looking for suggestions: 

1.  Should I get the C-lator? or Kleinulator?  At present I dont have any rack gear, everything's on the floor.
2.  I vision my rig to be:   Guitar (G&L ASAT, Strat, ES339) > Boss TU-2 tuner > amp input, then effects send > C-lator or Kleinulator > Budda Wah > TC Electronic Nova Delay pedal > Reverb Pedal> effects return.   Does this sound right? 

Cables:  10' cable from guitar to Boss Tuner on floor, 15' cable from boss tuner to amp input, short cable from amp to C-lator, 15' cable from effect send to wah/delay/reveb also on floor, and 15' cable from reverb back to effect return.   This is a lot of cables.. too many?

Appreciate the help, thanks!

I have the klein u lator and yes it will require more cables than a normal setup. I use time based effects in the Klator/effects loop only. All others (wah )can go in front input. I have the Klator sitting next to Amp with short cables to the send/return.
You will end up with 2 cables going from the k-lator to the delay/reverb pedals on floor, In/Out. And then 1 cable from guitar to all other effects ( OD, Wah, Volume pedal, etc. )
So between your pedal board and amp will be 3 cables.
Zip tie them together every couple feet and its not so bad.

Main thing is you need to put all time based effects after the OD section of amp or else it will sound horrible when your in OD channel
Hope that shed some light.

+1 to Wilcox.  Go tuner > wah > amp > Klator  > Reverb > Delay > Effects Return. 

The placement of your reverb and delay is really up to you, but I find that delay is best at the end of the chain.  YMMV. 

Also, you can have Nik build the C-lator into a head cab for you along with the amp.  This makes it easier to transport everything.
