I think it is counterproductive to look for rules about how to hook 
up effects and looping devices to a mixer. You need to analyze how 
you want to manipulate your sounds and you need to understand the 
musical implications of series/parallel and pre/post.

Depending on the mixer you use, it may be possible to hook up your 
instrument(s), all your effects, and your looper in such a way that 
you can route any signal to any device. But from the nature of your 
question you are probably just getting started, so you should 
probably keep it simple.

If you want the best suggestions, you should specify what equipment 
you are using and what kind of musical results you are after.
