This might be an utter silly (and lazy) question, but I'm asking it anyway coz I need it answered, and I know you guys know the answer to it.
So, I have this bass thing that I need to go to an fx channel in the mixer, with , let's say, effect 1, effect 2 & effect 3.
Then I've got another pad which I want to get to effect 1, effect 2, effect 3 & effect 4.
Now, the way I usually do this is make another fx channel, put the same effects on it, and put the extra (nr 4 in this case) on it.
But now I was thinking, that this would get some extra clutter (and more work 
) on the project and perhaps there's an easier, more simple way to do it?
I'm sorry if I wasted your time with this if it's a stupid question, and if there is just no 'other way' then the way I usually do it.

so, you're using Fruity Loops?

Depends on which effects you are using 
You could make 2 aux channels (effects channels):
- channel 1 containing fx 1, 2, 3
- channel 2 containing fx 4
Then route the bass through channel 1 and the pad both through channel 1 and 2.
Or:
you could route the pad through aux channel 1 and put fx 4 in the insert of the pad track.
The way you route your audio has a great impact on how it will sound. You can daisy-chain effects (= in 'series') or you can run them side-by-side (= 'in parallel').
Example: you have a delay effect and a reverb effect. If you put them in series, you will have reverb on the base sound as well as on the delay taps; if you put it in parallel you will have 'dry' delays and only reverb on the base sound.

by routing CH 1 to CH2 all instruments to CH1 will route to CH2. you can't choose to send it through one and not another.so
you can SEND them there like an aux, but you'll hav ethe dry signal through also, and you can't mute the orignal channle, or the AUX SEND will be mute too.
so, you can make a channle with 123 and make a channle with 1234, duplicate the settings.
now thismight not be what you want.
but you can do THIS, which may help.
CH1 CH2 CH3 CH4
bass pad fx123 fx4
CH1 routes to CH3
CH2 routes to CH3
CH2 aux sends to CH4
ch1 and ch2 are daisy chained to ch3, but ch2 to ch4 is seperate from the rest, even ch3.
remember, right click on the spot you normaly left click on to make a channle an AUX send, to ROUTE.
this way you'll, for some reason, have your pad and bass going through fx 1,2,3, and then the pad also going through the fx4 without being affected by fx1,2,3. but you still get the same sounds. it's weird, and you can even proccess the sounds before you send them to CH3. i.e. sperate compression and such.
in FL i think this is the ONLY way you can get at it. you can't send one signal through and not goto FX4 and one that goes through and DOES goto FX4. all signal that routes to the first has to route to the second channel. and you can't split routing. all you can do is aux send the dry signal seperatly to FX4.
i swear to god, the second most complex thing in the entire fucking world is routing. the first is explaining it.

I get the point (mostly 
) but I'm not in the advanced area here.. I knew it had something to do with chaining, but how to chain?
'Coz in instrument settings you can route em only to 1 aux channel (in the right top?) ?? and how to get an aux channel performing an effect on another aux channel?
I'm getting quite lost with this

basicly once 2 sounds are "married" into one channle, there's no way you can have an effect on one adn not the other, because they are as ONE. you couldn't even digitally remove the sound because the fx on it would fudge it up,
