That's exactly how I use my MXR. I found putting it in the FX loop made my amp sound like a solid state, though it was gainy as all hell back there. But it was too much. My amp is a little dark so I scooped out the low-bass and curve up to the high mids. Kind of set up for what would be a 'lead boost' but it makes my amp a little more 'guitar range' friendly.
