Hi,
Amon Duul 2 I think John Weinzierl is one of the best at it. The albums all the way to "Vive La Trance". Specially listen to "Wolf City".
10CC After all, one of their guys invented the Gizmo, which was a type of guitar synthesizer.
Scorpions In the early days before they became a thrash band. One listen to the title song of "Fly to the Rainbow" (a satire of AD2's Apocaliptyc Bore, btw!!!), and you know that guitarist is awesome with effects.
Jimi Hendrix Probably the best wahwah player ever
Robert Fripp Considering his electronics and such, specially in the early days, the stuff he did with VdGG and PH and Eno and such, was always bombastic and outstanding.
Roye Albrighton Nektar. Very good wahwah and in general electronics. Massive assault album to be played in its entirety is "Recycled". And that version of "Marvellous Moses" was nothing like the original which was way wilder and better!
Toni McPhee The Groundhogs, although most here will not consider this progressive, but there are some outstanding things. Must get is "Crosscut Saw" and "Black Diamond". The effects use in there is magnificent.
Streetwalkers/Roger Chapman The lead guitar in there is one of the best ever. Outstanding effects are used almost exclusively to create a mood for a song by itself.
I'm not sure that "effects" is, necessarily exclusive to progressive or prog ... everyone uses them.

Try Steve Hillage's GREEN. He uses a lot of guitar effects throughout Green. Also Motivation Radio and the early Gong releases like the "Gong Trilogy" , Flying Teapot, Angel's Egg and You. Steve Hackett on Please Don't Touch. Spectral Mornings, and Voyage of the Acolyte.
Jimi Hendrix on "1983, A Merman I Shall Turn To Be from Electric Ladyland is a long piece containing guitar effects of the future and with a experimental futuristic sound and style.

Good suggestions!
Some of my favorite guitar processing resulted from Bob Fripp's collaborations with Brian Eno! Check out Eno's albums "Here Come The Warm Jets," "Another Green World," "Before & After Science" etc. for some great guitar tracks by Fripp that were then processed by Eno!
One of my favorites, "King's Lead Hat" from "Before & After Science" - check out Fripp's processed guitar solo at 3:08! Good stuff!

David Gilmour's first solo album. Or Floyd's Animals. Plenty of interesting effects.
As someone mentioned previously, Hendrix's Electric Ladyland. Give particular attention to "Gypsy Eyes", "Burning of the Midnight Lamp" and, of course, "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)".

The Mars Volta guitarist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez is known for his extensive pedalboard.
Also, Radiohead. They use plenty of effects but very resourcefully. On top of effects pedals, Jonny Greenwood uses other effects such as the Mutronics Mutator (heard on the solo to Paranoid Android), for which I think he has a controller on his guitar. He also uses the visual programing language Max/MSP to make weird stuttering effects (as heard on Airbag and Go to Sleep). Ed O'Brien has a more extensive pedalboard than Greenwood, but uses effects to get more ethereal, post-rock-y sounds. Plenty of effects to be heard OK Computer and onward.

Fields of the Nephilim - Wail of Sumer/And There Will Your Heart Be Also.
Effects include delay, chorus, ring modulation, tremolo, distortion, a lot of reverb...
It's from their album Elizium. Recorded, engineered and mixed by Andy Jackson (who worked with Pink Floyd) and recorded at David Gilmour's houseboat studio.

Damn right about that! And I would add a lot of other Hackett works as well.
EDIT: Steve Hillage's GREEN - Loving this album! One of my very special most recent discoveries, great music!
