Your amp may need a footswitch to enable the built-in reverb and/or
distortion. Maybe thats why you say your reverb doesn't work. Those jacks on
the back of your amp are probably where you plug in a footswitch to turn
off/on those built-in effects. I'm not familiar with that amp so I can't say
for sure.
The usual way to play through a guitar pedal is guitar->pedal(s)->amp. Some
modern amps have effects loops which allow you to insert effects at
different points in the signal path.
If you are just starting out, get a cheap guitar with a whammy bar and you
can probably live with your amps built-in reverb for the time being.
Good luck!
