Loop pedals record audio that is fed into them using either an XLR cable or a 1/4 instrument cable.

They can then instantly play back this recorded audio when a musician steps on one of the pedals switches.

What pedals should be in the effects loop?

If the distortion/overdrive is coming from the amplifier itself, using the effects loop allows you to place effects, such as delay, reverb, and rotary speaker, after the distortion. This normally results in a better result — running a delay into the front of a distorted amp can result in a muddy, messy sound.
