tonerider delay in loop...tone suck

nickpnickp Frets: 182
morning resident tonal geniusses (or genies)

new set up for me - and have a ferguson analog delay pedal kicking around which I have put in the loop of the blackstar head (series 1 6l6 100w) and kicking it on sucks tone.

presumably swapping this for a different type of delay pedal will avoid this?  If so do we have any recommendations as a delay is essential to hide my ferk ups and also as an effect for some of the songs we do.  I have to buy a reverb pedal to go in loop as well, so any comments about reverbs at the same time?

    When you say tone suck, do you mean volume drop? Mine has volume drop in the loop too, I just use it out front now. I guess a clean boost pedal might fix the problem, but that's an extra pedal you'd have to switch on...

    yeah. i think some of the older style pedals don't like the higher input signal you get in a loop, and that's what happens.

    Just to clarify what I meant there I meant older-style circuits. So things which are clones, or slightly tweaked clones, of older pedals. I'm not sure what the tonerider is a clone of (if at all), but judging by their other pedals I wouldn't be surprised the delay is a clone of an older analogue delay.

    try putting before the amp rather than in fx loop.
