Just be careful using them on a loud stage for the full band unless you can split your vocal mic signals so the PA can have the affected signals for the house and and unaffected ones for the monitors (or to mix in with the processed ones for the house). This is the one drawback of processing vocals using pedals like this. Not usually a problem for solo or small acoustic ensemble gigs in small venues, where you run your own sound, but tricker with a full PA in a larger venue. Might also present problems if you play somewhere with a dedicated sound person who knows what they'e doing and needs to mix for the house without each singer sending their own processed signal.

Hmm. I'm trying to understand both what might happen and why?

The compression and the reverb can increase the possibility of feedback if they're in the monitor signal, that's all. Also, reverb, or too much reverb, on the vocals in the monitors can make it harder for the sound to cut through the sound on a loud stage clearly enough for everyone to hear the vocals clearly, which in turn again can add to feedback problems as people will want the vocals louder.

And if a sound person needs to mix the vocals a certain way so the mix sounds good in the house, he or she may not want there to be processing on them that he or she can't control.
