Basic power filtering

OK to sum it up, first I put a 100R and a 1n5817 and then after that I put a 100uF and a 100nF in parallel to ground?

I think you need to be a bit careful with the value of the resistor you use. All of the current that the effect use will flow through that resistor. So, an effect that draws a lot of current will drop a lot of voltage over that resistor.

For effects that are op-amp and IC based, you might be better off not using the input resistor and putting 100nF ceramic caps on the power pins of all the IC's.

I see. Since there's apparently no generic solution that's good enough for all cases, I need to start writing this down. 

Thanks!
