I just finished building a SLO Clone and the effects loop runs at line level +4db.  I am building a rebote delay and  a plusar tremolo.  How would I go about making the pedals work with the +4db loop.  Thanks.

Thing like delays and tremolos are made to stay clean without any volume drop, they should work fine even with line level signals (and +4dB line level signals should under +-2V max amplitude so enough headroom is available from 9volts)

+4dbu is about 1.23 volts, however, your pedals are most likely unbalanced which brings the signal level to -2dbu or about 600mv. Hot pickups can do this. You're fine.

Cool I am still waiting on parts to show up to finish the delay and tremolo.  My visual sound V2 chorus does drop the volume when it is on.  I know I could run it in front, but I like they way chorus sounds througha loop.  Would something like this work that way I would not have to modify the pedal.  http://ceriatone.com/productSubPages/Klein-ulator/Klien-ulator.htm
