..i've got 2 tonebone pedals with high gain settings in the loop , configured 'pre' , and yet to get enough level , the return is at +20db -

   the amp block is off , and i've got the eq set with mid cuts , to try and get the cleanest sound , going into the fx return of a marshall avt combo..

       this works ok , but if i try to switch the amp block on , the levels all are way too low -

         if i put the loop 'post' , then the comp/boost doesn't have nearly the desired effect..

           i must be doing something wrong..

             also there's alot of noise when the pedals are on - the gate seems to have little effect - shouldn't it be at the end of the chain?

              lastly , the momentary display feature for the amp tone controls doesn't seem to be working at all , minor gripe , but still ??

                   any advice appreciated , thanx , cam..
