FX loop leak

[nomad100hd]

So i took the signal out of my FX loop into a computer for silent practice, but there was still a little sound coming out of the speaker. I don't see how this is normal for a serial loop?

12AX7s have two triodes in them. Apparently the signal is one triode bleeding into the other.

Hmm brand new amp thus brand new tubes. Wouldn't that mean the tube is bad?

This is normal for these amps. Mine does it too.

Thanks that's what I needed to know.

Same here. Probably should've added that. The effect is normally only noticeable at very low volumes when you have a digital effect in the loop, but your's is a special case and it makes sense too.
