isp decimator g string.

[deadcat]

i'm currently using an isp g-string decimator pedal (as in not the rack unit) in the series loop of an rm50.
i've noticed that when i bring up the preamp volume, mute or dig in on the lower end i get an awful clipping.
i've checked my many cables, tried powering pedals separately and unplugging thirsty pedals to no avail.
i remember even chiming in on a thread that the g-string pedal worked fine with this loop but am starting to think i was perhaps to hasty.
i know these loops are not designed for pedals but i've always thought the g-string was made for loop and line level. any suggestions or experiences would be greatly appreciated?

The ISP G-String is instrument level output (-10)?The RM50 wants a line level (+4)?If you want to use that peda with the RM50 you will need a Line Level Shifter to bring that signal up...

No worries?We're usually pretty helpful around here?.

An ebtech can be found for pretty cheap and would solve your problem?.There are other, more costly, options but for a basic and usable solution I can't think of anything easier unless you just sold the G-String and bought an ISP Rack which can run at +4 :wink:

Aren't you confusing defecation with decimation?

OK, I'll give you that, but that must have been even more awkward. 8)
