Message: <blockquote data-quote="bryantabuteau" data-source="post: 151896" data-attributes="member: 3654">Pretty new to MTS stuff, and just trying to get a handle on my higher gain tones.    I've got a Rocktron Hush 2X, which I normally put one loop in front of my amp (after any weird gain pedals) and the other into the series FX loop of the amp.    I get a weird bad breakup sound (even on clean) when I have it turned on in the series FX loop.    Given it's fine with it turned off (but plugged in), I'd assume the send/return of the loop is fine, no tube problems there.    quiet signals don't cause the problem, but if I hit harder it breaks up badly.    The Hush reckons it has a max input of +7dBu, which I would have thought could handle the line level series loop at +4dBu.Have I forgotten something here?    Happy to buy a new noise gate if that's the solution, but I'd like it in pedal format.Any way of dropping the series loop output, if that really is the problem?   Is it a tube driven output?  maybe I can use a lower gain tube there?</blockquote>
