FX Loop Problem?

[mackenziedeth]

I think I might be having a problem with my effects loop in my Dual rec. I've never tried a pedal in my effects loops before, so I decided to try my eq pedal. I plugged the pedal in the loop, made sure the amp was assigned to foot switch, made sure the 2 loop controls were on 100% and made sure the channel knob was on footswitch. Then, I clicked on the pedal and nothing happened. Switched the chords, nothing. So, I figured maybe it had to be assigned to a certain channel so I flipped the assign knob to channel 3 and when I turned on the eq pedal, to started making a loud noise and pulsed like I was using a tremolo effect. Rather than doing any damage, I figured I'd ask here. I have no clue whats going on.

My EQ needs to have power for it to work, which EQ are you using?

I'm using an MXR KFK 10 band eq pedal. By power, I assume you mean by battery or ac adapter. I am using an AC adapter so everything should work fine. I use it in my other amp all the time.

if it was pulsing the send in was too hot.
I run an MXR 10 EQ in the loop of my Rectoverb and I keep the actual channel volume (master for channel2) at 1:00 oclock or below.
I also keep the level on the EQ at zero or below. If I bring the level up on the slider I get that pulsing sound you mentioned as well.

I never had a problem with mine, but my loop is serial, so I don't know if that is the isse. I have the MXR 10 band.
