Welcome to the Discussion Zone! I wish I'd started learning about mixing when I was your age, so make the most of it! 
Anyway...
An interesting idea with the heavy vocal effects, although I have to say that it seems a bit of a shame to cover up such an evocative raw performance. It also doesn't help that the effects emphasise the 3.5kHz harshness that creeps into her sound in the choruses, and that the intelligibility of her lyrics also suffers into the bargain. If you're determined to pursue this effects tactic, then I'd heavily de-ess the effect send, because some of the consonants are really hitting the amp simulation(?) hard and sound rather hard and spitty.
Perhaps as a side-effect of this vocal processing, the chorus texture is too harsh for me. If the bass were a little more prominent in the balance, that might help a bit, but I'd advise some cuts in the 2-6kHz range on some of the guitars and the vocal effect's return channel.
