Hi Makinrose
You are not missing anything
The attenuation is 470k series with 5k6 to ground, cutting the signal by at least 85 or 38dB. The input impedance of the effect is not significant unless it is unusually low to compete with the 5k6.
Following the loop is a free-running gain stage whose output is attenuated through an EQ, and the power amp runs open-loop providing some of the make-up gain needed for the use of pedals in the effects loop.
It is not an ideal arrangement but it is entirely workable.
