Effects loops will only process part of the signal. This is OK for delay type effects but no good for distortion or compression effects. Id be cautious about using the wha in the effects loop. Im not saying dont do it, by all means experiment. I like the whole signal to go through the wha which is why I use it in the effects chain before inputting into an amp.
Id try different effects in different places on your chain first.
