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'?

Amp Rack on Stage?

Ok so I've been getting ready to build an ata flight style case for my live gear (mixer, processing, and amps). I'm torn between an all in one unit similar to the one below, and seperate ones. My problem with having the amp rack on the stage and not in front of me when mixing is that from time to time throughout the night I will find that my amp will PERIODICALLY clip for a quick second.

Tactile human being wants desk console not little rack thing

Hi,

Some background before my question:

I just purchased an Alesis ADAT HD24. I got a really good deal on it new. I didn't get the XR, because I don't care about 96kHZ recording. I am not scoring soundtracks for film, not producing or recording music for DVDs, etc. nor will I ever be. Don't need it or want it. CDs are still 44kHZ, and that's my focus.

Signal path and Order of rack mount gear

I am wondering about the order in which I should set up my devices. I am recording guitar direct (or bass) and wish to run it through a Lexicon MX200 effects processor, a preamp, a compressor, and then obviously the last connection will be my Firebox DI box.

In what order should I run the compressor, Lexicon (for a little reverb), and preamp?
