Guitar Pedal

Is it possible to plug in my single guitar effects pedals into a multi-effects pedal?
A bit of a stupid question, but I’m looking into purchasing the Line 6 Pod X3 Pro multi-effects processor, but enjoy the sounds of my single-effects Guitar Pedals I have that the Pod does not include. Considering I’ve never seen someone do it, is it possible to plug these other effects into the effects loop outside of the multi-effects pedal? Thank you.
Of course you can. Think about it: the amp is designed to accept the signal from the guitar. That means that any sort of effect you put in front of the amp should be outputting the same sort of signal as your guitar. So everything is all the same in front of the amp, no need to worry about messing anything up.
Making it sound good is another story altogether. You wouldn’t want to stick a delay in front of a distortion pedal, or a stick a phaser behind a reverb… it will just sound bad. Multi-effects units don’t usually allow you to alter or control the signal chain, they usually have all the effects sorted into categories and chain them a very specific (and nice sounding way). That’s why you don’t ever see people doing it.
As convenient as multi-effects are, they rarely ever sound as good as a dedicated effect unit. Dedicated effects also allow you the freedom to chain them however you want. You have to know a little more about signal chaining and how those effects work in order to get a good sound, but you can get much nicer tones in general out of good single pedals.
