In general there should not be real problems using them with a modular 
systems like the A100. They may expect lower signal levels (guitar 
pedals are constructed always for the usage with guitars), so you 
perhaps should lower the output signal of the last module before the 
guitar pedal. You won't destroy the pedals electronic, but maybe they 
will distort. Especially distortion/fuzz pedals and compressors will 
definitely need lower levels to produce the effect you are expecting, 
because the effect itself works depended on the signal level.

I use a Boss DD6, Boss Compressor, Ibanez Tubescreamer and a Ibanez 
Flanger; I never had any problems.
