The Effects Loop on the back of an amp head is for separating the "modulation" pedals (like delay or chorus, etc.) from other types of pedals like your tuner or distortion.
On my board, I have my tuner and Distortion pedal going into the front of the amp. But I have my chorus, POG, envelope filter, and EQ going through the effects loop.
That's pretty standard for most guitarist/Bassist pedalboards.
The effect loop is to use exteernal effect module... It is NOT to use guitar pedals !!!! The signals are line levels, NOT guitar type levels. An example of a device might be an Alesis Quadraverb. You take the effect send jack and run it into the inout of the effects module and the output of the effects module into the effects return jack. Many try to use guitar pedals and massive distortion results because levels are too high for the pedals.
