Well now, I found the reason for my Effects Loop weirdness. BAD CABLE!

In fact, the whole unit appears to be fine, it sounds marvelous!!

You need to get into computing and networking:

When things don't work, check cabling and routing.
When in doubt, check the routing again..

Oh.. in your case it was indeed the cabling - but then again, cabling and routing are somewhat inter-related, so..
;)

[Dante]

Yeah, I changed all the cabling between the FX unit and the preamp....this was the cable going from the wah into the input jack of the unit. I took that plug apart last night and found two strands of wire from the tip (hot) touching the sleeve (ground). Just a dab of solder fixed it up.

Now, I may have spoken too soon about the unit being perfect...I was playing last night and noticed a volume jump about an hour into my session. Not sure if it's a jack, but when I wiggled the speaker cord it did a bit of cutting out from the output jack of the power amp. I seem to remember something about trying both my amps to check them (some time ago) and finding out that it was coming from the preamp....more testing to come. I need to practice anyway, I'll keep using it to re-familiarize myself with the issues I had.

Hey Dante, could be one of your MP-1 Classic output jacks or the cab sim switch(es)/buttons, I had one channel play up on my studio MP-2 a while ago, just out of the blue one side stopped working and thus volume drop, fiddled with it a bit (plugged/unplugged etc.) IIRC it turned out to be the cab sim switch. I have it patched into a desk > monitors so I use the cab sim outs.  Anyway, give everything a good clean and known good cables....

[Dante]

Good point, I'll fiddle with that switch next.

FYI: Played for a good 1.5 hours last night with no issues at all, sounds amazing.

Why am I not surprised (about the sound  ), good there were no issues.
