Using pedals in front of a high-gain amp

[Orvillain]

I don't like that. Doesn't sound good to me.

Well you're wrong!

I don't use any FX in front either. I know people who do though. You can get some really thick and atmospheric sounds that way, but I think you lose a lot of the amp's character.
I do generally like to push the input signal though.

The effects on Rezas demos are killer I get sucked into the building swirl they are very cool and very different !
