[QUOTE="Jaded Faith, post: 136762, member: 1068"] I think you got the connections correct, but just in case: FX SEND: Connect to the amps Send jack FX RETURN: Connect to the amps Return jack TO PEDALS: Connects to the first pedal in your chain FROM PEDALS: Connects to the output of the last pedal in your chain The switch should be set to LOOP for this application. You should set the level knob so that unity or a slight boost is achieved (I like this for use as a lead boost) when you toggle the pedal on/off. Beware of cranking it too high, as you can overdrive the amps return buffer and power section in a bad way. It has 38dB of return gain boost, which is a lot. The BOOST position is if you simply want to use it as a clean boost in front of the amp or in the loop as a lead boost without pedals. It will deactivate the pedal send/return loop. In this application, you must start with the level all the way down and slowly bring it up. Particularly if it's being used as a solo boost in the loop. It will not require a high setting at all for a significant level boost. If you follow all of the above and there is still a significant distortion going on there has to be something wrong with the STEP pedal and I'll need to look at it. It's a far cleaner and more transparent effect than the Ebtech. Give me a call or email if that's the case and I'll get you taken care of. Rob [/QUOTE]
