Use fx loop on HD400 as a boost

Hi...I was experimenting with my HD400 last nite and I connected a 1/4" cable between the send and return jacks on the FX loop.  I was able to get a clean boost doing this.  However, is there any way that I can switch this loop in and out on the fly?  Is it is possible that any click switch on the unit can be programmed for turning the FX loop on?  I know I could have the loop on all the time and use a Boss GE-7 EQ pedal to do a boost too...but I thought it would be great to be able to turn it on when i want.

Sorry if I am asking an obvious question :)

I know some people do this but I don't understand why. Since the Send/Receive loop uses up an FX Block, just assign that block to a gain stage and eliminate the signal degradation incurred by two data converter stages (DAC and ADC). Or maybe the HD400 does the FX Loop differently and you're forced to do this.
