Hey Nick, questions very welcome!

It isn’t really possible to change the order of effects from tidal. It is possible in supercollider, [see here](https://uzu.lurk.org/t/effects-after-reverb/1315/15).. But unfortunately because reverb is a ‘global effect’ (or to be more precise one that’s applied to a whole ‘orbit’), it will always come after distortion.
