Had my first Boogie (Dual Rec Head) for 3 weeks now and its the most amazing amp I have ever owned or played through but I am having great difficulty getting a TC G-Sharp working in the effects loop. My setup is this;
Amp effects send to left input on processor. Left output on processor to effects return on amp. Send and return knobs on amp at 12'o'clock, channel volumes at approx 12'o'clock, input level on processor 12'o'clock. These seemed to be the recommended starting setting from reading the manuals for the Boogie and the TC. The amp is set to loop on and the master volume (output) on the amp is set to about 8'o' clock to keep the neighbours happy. The 'drykill' on the processor is engaged which effectively removes the dry signal from the loop (as was recommended for the parallel loop.
Here are the problems;
With the G-Sharp engaged but no effects selected I lose a little level but this is fine as I have read that this is normal and I can bring the level back up with the effects return level control.
If I try to engage a delay effect I can only hear the dry signal, no delay effect at all.
The worst problem seems to be with the chorus and reverb effects. As soon as I switch either of these in the G-Sharp input meters show red (overload) even with the guitar volume at nothing and I am playing nothing. There is also a horrible sound coming from the amp like some sort of digital feedback.
Both the Amp and the Processor were bought brand new in the last month and I have tried different interconnect cables just in case it was that. The amp sounds fantastic on all channels when played normally, although as this is my only amp I have no way of testing the G-Sharp without the Boogie.
I would be really grateful if anyone could give me any suggestions on things to try, I was up till around 3 am last night trying to figure it but I got nowhere !
Thanks in advance,

so try to compare at least series and parallel and go on the tech support on the tc web site, I fixed all my problem that way with my G-major... you have a great machine, i'm shure you will enjoy your tc a lot very soon! Good luck.
