it depends on what kind of setup you have and what other effects pedals you are using and what sound you are going for, but I suggest you put your distortion pedal before everything else. The distorion will carry though the other effects slightly and give the other effects a better kick.

Should you place the distortion or overdrive box before or after the wah pedal when setting up a guitar rig?

most players do either, theres no 'right way' just like no right way to play the guitar itself...each give a slightly different sound. The function of a distortion pedal is similar to the preamp gain stages in a regular guitar amp. All of the classic wah sounds were produced in this manner: 1. guitar 2. wah 3. guitar amp 4. speakers If you put the distortion first, you will not get the classic wah sound. In addition, every guitar multi-FX processor made puts the wah before the overdrive/distortion in the FX chain. Many of these processors put the overdrive/distortion AFTER the preamp gain stage which is in the effects loop of a typical guitar amp. You would start at your guitar and go guitar-distortion-wah-amp. Because you want to wah a distorted signal, not distort a wah. If you distort the wah, you're not really getting the right effect. It makes a big difference.

How do you get Allan Holdsworth guitar sound?

Most likely, much of Allan's guitar sound comes from his hands and the flawless legato technique he's developed over his career. Another guitarist playing through Allan's rig would likely sound different based on the feel they had for the instrument.
