Do Fender amps take pedals well?

Fender ’64 Princeton Reverb But it just so happens that the Princeton is one of the most-recorded guitar amps in history — and it takes pedals like a champ.

Do pedals go before or after the amp?

As you can see the Drive, Distortion and Fuzz pedals are before the pre-amp as you want them to affect the sound, whereas the EQ, Modulation, Delay and Reverb pedals are set after the pre-amp as you want to take the tone of the pre-amp and hear that correctly without colouring it.

Are Fender micro switch pedals any good?

The micro switch design is flimsy, so I recommend other owners should handle with care and treat their switch pedals as delicate equipment. Fender should upgrade the basic quality of the fragile components. If I were not able to fix my own pedal, I would be an unsatisfied customer.
