Overall, I advise against using effects unless you feel they'll enhance the music you're making. Try sitting down with each box separately and going through all its parameters to get a feeling for what it does. Hopefully, you'll develop a sense of effects as part of the instrument -- an aspect you can use in any way that helps you make better music. Good luck!
