Reading through this topic, I just realized that I'm quite the neophyte and I have no idea how an effects loop works. My amp (or rather, the amp I'm using), the Marshall MGHD100FX half stack, has an FX send and FX return jack in the back. I tried plugging my pedal chain into both jacks, and all I got was nonsense noise. Would someone mind breaking the process down for me, and what it's used for? I'm sure it's pretty simple, I just can't figure it out.

For reference, my effect chain:
Amp->DigiTech Jamman->TU-2->TR-2->MT-2->808 reissue->FZ-2.

Thanks for the info! One other question: I don't currently have a preamp, and people have been telling me I should get one, especially because I play with pedals. Any recommendations?

Yeah, that's what I meant. Like I said, I'm still in the learning stage when it comes to equipment.
