guitar amp volume pedals through effect loop?

Here's what I am trying to do - use a volume 'switch' stompbox (Boost Switch) in conjunction with volume swell pedal (Yamaha FV-50) to control the volume of my amp during live gigs. I put it through the effects loop so I won't affect the pre-amp distortion I'm getting. That set up works fine for my small Rivera Pubster but doesn't through a Boogie F50 - the stomp box has no effect at all and pedal sort of works but not very well.
Actually it''s more complicated than that because I also have a wah and delay pedal in the loop and they work fine with the Pubster but not with the F50.
I guess if it doesn't work it doesn't work but it would be interesting to know why. Any electronics experts out there who can shed any light?
Cheers, Ian
