I was never a pedal guy at all but my new band "requires" I have a pedal board and I'm now a lot less of a "pure amp tone only" snob. I think tasteful use of effects expands one's playing while I used to think they covered it up.

That being said, I have yet to like anything through the effects loop. I have everything front loaded. Does anyone have any suggestions on which if any effects might work better through the loop? I have a chorus, tube screamer, phase up front, and an EQ I don't use at all because I don't need it with the tube screamer.

Generally effects like Chorus and Delay works best through the loop. Overdrive/distortion goes in front. An Eq can be used either way. Just try it out and use whatever way sounds best for you.
