Newbie EDP Question

[Jeff Shirkey <jcshirke@frontier.com>]

Hi Kids,

I just hooked up an EDP (the newer black one, not that it matters, I  
guess) to the fx loop of an Axe FX II. I managed to get everything  
connected properly in terms of ins/outs (no small achievement  
sometimes, in my case), and I also managed to set up an Axe II preset  
with the FX loop in the signal path and the EDP engaged. Since I know  
there are some Axe users here, I thought I'd mention that detail just  
to eliminate the possibility that my Axe was not the source of the  
problem below.

When I create my first loop, the loop gradually fades with each cycle.  
After maybe 5 or 6 repetitions, the loop is gone.  For the moment,  
that's not what I want. I want the loop's volume to remain constant-- 
at the same level at which it was first recorded.

At first I figured this was a simple feedback issue, so I adjusted the  
front panel feedback knob. But that doesn't seem to be the source of  
my trouble.

I'm sure there is a very simple explanation, and a simple solution.  
And, yes, I know one response would simply be "FTMF!". I know...and I  
will. But the manual is a thick mofo, and I just want to get this  
thing up and running quickly before I make my way through that whole  
beast.

Thanks for your time.

Jeff
