RM100 series loop issue

[andy dawson]

Hi
I have been using the rm100 for a few years and been very happy.
I have had problems with fx

I currently use a TC NOVA system in the series loop and I am losing tone and level. This seems to be a new problem as it was fine a while ago.
I wondered if it could be the loop tubes going bad? If I unplug the nova the tone and volume improves dramatically. I have set the levels on the nova for unity gain as you would expect.

Hopeless using pedals in the loop even with a line level shifter and when I use them in front of the amp I get noise and gain loss etc.I have mxr evh flanger and phase 90 etc.

This is by far the best amp I have owned but the frustration is getting the better of me!
I welcome your assistance

how hot are you running the volumes on your modules? If they are too hot for the Nova, you'll experience clipping & volume loss.

Try reducing the volumes of your modules & increasing the master volume instead.

Try cleaning the loop jacks as discussed here many times in the past. It sounds like you haven't used the loop in a while, making this even more likely.
