    Yeah, it isn't playing well. If you just use the Zoom, is it silent?

      It's a grounding issue, lots of amps don't like it when effects in the loop share a power supply with effects in front. It seems like it shouldn't matter with a common ground, but it does, I think it's more from the effects than the amp.

          Like I said guys - Guitar straight into amp, with Zoom in FX loop = quiet.

          Is there a power toy that might help here?
          I use an MXR ISO-brick for that problem.

          But these days I too use a Zoom, but as my complete pedalboard with nothing else. One outlet. Less problems.

            Update:

            It was definitely the EHX digital pedals. No way to get them to play nice with the Zoom.

            Guitar > Pitch > Synth > Wah > Amp

            Loop > Zoom > Loop

            I went batter for the Pitch. It's really an emergency Key change device and I rarely use it - but awesome when I need it!
            I went to three separate One Spots for Wah, Zoom, and Synth

            All good now!
