Well and of course, let's not forget the Maestro himself: Miles Davis blowes his horn, distorted and through a wah, i think e.g. on "Live Evil" . It's sometimes hard to tell which lines are played by him and which are played by the guitar.
Guitar effects on a microphone is very hard to manage without uncontrollable
feedback. But I saw it done - on a saxophone yet! - by a trio called Spongehead (guitar/bass, sax, and drums). The sax player used wah, echo,
and an octave divider (which on a tenor or bari gave him some very nice deep notes, allowing the sax to function as the bass player on some songs!). I don't remember if he ever used distortion.
He played through a big guitar amp, i think.
