Signal path and Order of rack mount gear

I am wondering about the order in which I should set up my devices. I am recording guitar direct (or bass) and wish to run it through a Lexicon MX200 effects processor, a preamp, a compressor, and then obviously the last connection will be my Firebox DI box.

In what order should I run the compressor, Lexicon (for a little reverb), and preamp?

Hi folks,
I'm mixing a project with Motu/Mac/Digital Performer. I have a question regarding plugins in the channels. Should I EQ first and then compress, or vice versa. Any advice or opinions would be appreciated.
thanks from my mixing madness,
Chris Paulson
