    Hello,

    I am looking for a solution to a problem I am having running my EH pedals through the FX loop on my amp, any suggestions would be much appreciated. I am running a Mesa Mark V, with a Big muff in line with the guitar, so I figure that’s not the problem, in the loop I have, in order:

    Send
    Stereo Memory Man w/ Hazerai
    Small stone
    Flanger hoax
    2880
    Receive

    The tone is degraded when I have the loop switched on, the level drops a bit and gets distorted. Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    JBN

    have you tried puttin individual pedals through the loop one at a time to try and isolate which is causing the problem? i’ve had this trouble in the past and it’s usually one pedal or a dodgy lead causing the problem.

    hope you can get this sorted!

    cheers,
    Matt

    Thanks Matt,

    I’ll give that a shot and post back. Do you think it could possibly be the loop itself? I might try running them all up front and see how much the signal is degraded that way. Maybe get myself a buffer as well.

    I’d try contacting Mesa Boogie for advice.

    With FX loops in amps, there is no standard, and many can be a little finnicky.
