Can't get a good chorus sound with distortion

When I was in my Zakk Wylde phase I set my marshall rig up like this. Guitar>wah>od>chorus>amp. I used a boss chorus and had it set like this. Rate off, depth 100% mix to taste. Hope this helps. I found for me that with distortion that less rate = better sound.
