Well I did Bruce (the builder of the amp) told me to do, and guess what? it worked, all my problems with the loop are solved....it kinda sucks that I have to stick a pedal up on top of the amp and run a cable from it, but heck, I love this amp so far, its worth it.... I know I'm in the honeymoon phase, but I think I'm gonna dig it... was going to do clips today, but my dog is sick so I have to watch her..... maybe tommorrow........
