Why would you need to use the FX loop in a mixer instead of just plugging your effect devices in a series between the guitar and the amp or PA?
The only case I can think of is if you want to use more than one channel and route the effect signal separately from the dry signal, especially in combination with a looper. But that's not a really typical scenario. Of course, whatever floats your boat...
