[threadbare]

I love the space echo delay pedal on my board, but it's too noisy when not in use. It really sucks my tone. How can I fix this. This may be dumb, but I don't know how to use that effects loop up top. Do I run everthing through it? I always thought effects loops were not for distortion pedals just modulation pedals like choruses, phasers, and delays. How would you suggest I set up this board to keep the space echo quite? By the way this board is a work and progress and yet I know the Phaser should be after the delays.
