Zoom MS-60B issue (in fx loop)

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.

Cheers

Chris

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.
