Ground Effect

The loss of operating distance due to the positioning of wireless antennas too close to the ground. Reflected RF energy from the ground gets mixed in with the direct RF signal and causes cancellation of RF energy at the antenna. In certain situations the loss can be significant.

Proximity Effect

Refers to the effect caused by a sound source being very close to a directional microphone. The net result is that low frequencies become boosted as the source comes closer. For vocalists, the effect can be used creatively, while for others the effect can cause problems, where distortion can occur from the diaphragm being stressed from the signal boost.

Effects-Loop Circuitry

A mixing console circuit that is used to add an effect to a signal or a group of signals. When the effect unit is plugged into the circuit (via effects send and effects return jacks), it literally functions as a loop, splitting the signal off from the mixer and sending it to the effect, then returning it to the mixer, where it is blended with the original signal.

Use Stompbox as Rack FX Send Unit?

OK, so here is the situation, you have a pedal with a certain echo effect that you use for a particular song right? But, according to Slipperman, you should process time based effects like echo AFTER you have recorded the tone. Is it possible to send the recorded amped tone out through a reamp box then through the pedal in question with the 'magic settings'?
