Walker Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I didn't want to hijack the other MS-60B thread as hopefully this will be a quickie for Dood! I've run the bass chorus setting into the front of my Portaflex 500 - lovely I drop it into the FX loop and it distorts like crazy on the E and A strings and even on the D and G if I dig in. I've tried fiddling with the levels / mix, but I just get a quieter distortion. Is this pedal not designed for the loop or am I missing something? It does it on all the effects on the Zomm btw.

ratman Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I guess you just use it in the amp input ten, not the effects loop. I'll try mine in amp loop tomorrow and see if it does the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Think the amp is running a line level effects loop. That will be giving the pedal a much higher voltage than the instrument level signal it is expecting. That may cause distortion and might not do the pedal much good long term. Best to run it between bass and amp. Effects loops are really aimed at rack gear which is expecting to see a line level signal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 Thank you for that Pete, makes sense! Loving this. I've had b3 but the size of this thing is obviously better. Best value kit I've ever bought! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
