AX8 mild distortion when I back-off the volume pedal

Hey all...this is my 1st post. Hoping someone can solve this! I am moving from the FX8 to the AX8 for the added ability to go direct but this particular question revolves around using the AX8 strictly as an effects processor like the FX8 stereo into a pair of tube amps. I've copied all my presets, moved them over and all seem to work/sound great. I run the 4-cable method with the AX8 outputting stereo, 1 side returning back to the effects loop, the other going directly into the front-end of an amp (again NOT feeding anything directly to the PA, mixing board, etc). I'm using a Roland EV-5 expression pedal as my volume pedal. When I roll the pedal back to lower the volume, the sound gets dirty. It might be a mismatch with the effects loop but why would the sound clean up when I roll the pedal all the way up?

TIA for any opinions or solutions!
