LONESTAR LOOP FOR PEDALS

[batt66red]

HEY, IM NEW TO THESE BOARDS AS I JUST BOUGHT A MESA LONE STAR A COUPLE MONTS AGO. I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YA. DO YOU RUN YOUR PEDALS THRU THE LOOP SET UP OR SET YOUR PEDALS UP IN FRONT. MY PROBLEM IS I CANT GET A GOOD SOUND UNLESS I HAVE MY PEDALS IN FRONT. I REALLY LOOSE MY POWER. IT FRUSTRATES THE HELL OUT OF ME. IS THERE SOMTHING IM DOING WRONG? ANY HINTS. IVE TRIED DIFFERENT CABLES AND SWITHCED THE PEDALS AROUND, MESSED WITH THE KNOBS, BUT NO LUCK. ALSO, IS THERE CERTIAN ORDERS PEDALS SHOULD GO IN. HOPE I DONT SOUND TO MUCH LIKE A NOOB BUT.... IS THERE SOMTHING IM MISSING. iVE ACTUALLY BEEN JUST USING THE PURE AMP SO FAR AND TODAY I SET UP SOME PEDALS TO PLAY WITH. (MUCH TO MY FRUSTRATION)
