I was dumb enough to put everything through the effects loop and it sounded like garbage. Since then, I studied up and now have my RAT distortion running through an MXR EQ, then into the amp. After that, I have the delay pedal and (when needed) a noise gate in the effects loop. The sound is 500% better than what I had before. When I want to throw my DS-1 in, it goes before the RAT and when I use it, I hook up the wah-pedal before the DS-1 or RAT. It seems to be more effective that way.
