   No, this pedal is inexpensive, and doesn't have a send loop in itself.   
   It only has one in, and one out, so it has to go in front of the amp, or   
   in the FX loop.   
      
   I assume that the FX send is post preamp, so it would be a different level than   
   the guitar going into the pedal, and the return is probably different   
   then going into the amp input.  Would the pedal be more at home in front   
   of the amp from a level standpoint, or is it likely flexible enough to   
   work either way?
