Muzzle issue too

[Tornato]

I’m using this in an fx loop. Guitar in and trough to the amp. All works great. Now I put a delay pedal in the loop after the gate and get a loud pop when switching the gate on/off????

Pictures are incredibly helpful. How is it hooked up? Are you using sidechain in/out for the fx loop?

 

[Tornato]

Yes using the side chain to the amp. What’s weird is it doesn’t pop when no Delay pedal. But with a boss pedal in the loop the muzzle pops?
Signal goes
Guitar in. Guitar out to amp in. Loop send to in of muzzle. Out of muzzle to delay in. Out of delay to amp return. Pop! No pop with no delay?

 

[Nostradoomus]

That is very odd. Do you have any other delays to try? Maybe it just doesn’t like having a buffered pedal in the sidechain.

Are they wired with the same power supply ? Isolated one ? Try to do one or the other and see if it change something.

I used a battery on the delay. It did turn out to be a buffer issue. I tried a EH memory boy and it worked fine. ???

 

[Nostradoomus]

Some pedals impedances just don’t match, fuzzes and wahs are notorious for this.

 

[Tornato]

True. But I’d never put a fuzz or a wah in the effects loop ??‍

Not what I was saying haha
