Many stomp boxes were designed to use for instrument level signals and impedences only. This is a very low level signal in the low milivolt range. Effects loop are designed to output and input line level signals at 1vpp @600 ohms. Rack effects work best in effects loops. Many, especially modern, pedals will work in an effects loop also, but a lot of times they are so overdriven, mis-matched, or you have to pad them so much they don't work well or can even be damaged. Some pedals and rack units have a line/instrument level switch or separate line/instrument level inputs and outputs. The short answer is that there are pedals that will work in the loop and there are pedals that won't.
Isn't that why a lot of effects loops have a switch?
