Peavey Valverb question

[Bernardduur]

Hello all!

I am just figuring this out! I use this Peavey Valverb from a friend for some recording and tried it multiple ways with my amp........ now the unit sounds fine when fed into the input of my amp but when I add it to my FX loop it just starts to distort..........

I guess it is the Valverb that is just "unable" to be used in my FX loop...... someone knows a possible mod or fix for this unit? Or knows WHY it distorts this bit?

Schematic Edit; the schematic is on this page under effects!

The FX send has an impedance of 250k, the return of big!

Anyone?

The send/return on my Matamp head works at +4Db , so if plugged into an effect
which only operates at -10 Db it will distort it, fortunately the Boss SE70 that I use here
has a -10 OR +4 Db switch.
Does the Valverb has this ?  I suspect that this is the problem, how about the 1M input
gain control .... does that help when it's lowered ??
If it were the other way around, you'd just not get enough level in or out of the reverb.
