Im putting this question on here because I usually get good advice, even when not about Fenders. Does anyone own an Egnater Tweaker? Im having this reoccuring problem w/the FX loop. Its only with my Carbon Copy delay. The first problem came a couple months ago; i'd have the delay on, and my dry signal was fine, but the repeats were muffled and way too quite. I swapped around the preamp tubes (well one was a preamp, but all were 12AX7s), and the problem went away, so i bought all new tubes, problem solved, until this weekend. I was playing with the band, my chain is; guitar, MXR Custom Shop Comp, 535Q Wah, MXR '76 RI Dyna Comp, TS808, and a Way Huge Fat sandwich distortion, and a Boss DD2 delay. In the loop; Fulltone Choralflange, MXR Carbon Copy, and EH Holier Grail. I was playing Comfortably numb, and I keep the DD2 running in the front, then turn on the Carbon Copy for the backward B minor pentatonic, and that's where I noticed it. Now, the repeats are fine, but the dry signal is loses volume and treble. I thought it may be the pedal, but when i put it in front of the amp its fine. Anyone with one of these amps having this problem?
PS. The Warmoth Strat build is about done, just waiting for my friend to finish w/the nitro finish on the body, its F#@king awesome. I used a quarter sawn maple neck w/the Clapton profile, i took a little of the treble side shoulder off between the 7th and 15th fret, so it still has the same thickness at this tip of the"V", but I have better reach. I sanded the headstock back a bit (got the idea from playing an Eric Johnson, plus FYI, Warmoth's headstock is thicker than a stock Fender). Used a 1-piece alder body, Dimarzio Area 61/58/heavy blues n/m/b. I put in the low friction 500k volume pot that they use in the Wolfgang guitars, a Tonestyler tone knob from stellartone for a master tone pot, and a bridge pickup blender pot. I sprayed the neck with a tinted nitro laquer, and am putting a thin skin Emerald Green nitro finish for the body. Pic's will follow when done. Also; if you are planning on using Warmoth for anything and dont want to wait too long, you have to buy from the showcase; the neck took 10 weeks to come in, and the company themselves are dicks. They have the WORST customer service Ive ever come across.

This post is probably better suited to the lounge or the amplifier forums. Just a thought, as this is the Strat forum. There are many fans of Egnater here, and I'm sure you'll get the answer your looking for if you put this in the right spot.
