Just to preface, I've scoured the forum on this topic as much as I can but after experimenting and still not feeling if this is something I'm setting up wrong I thought I'd start my own topic on this issue.
I tried putting my bb preamp pedal in the loop instead of in front to just gain an understanding of how and what it would sound like. I noticed I got a lot of hiss and while raising the output 2 boost/pad to 18 reduced it, it's still there.
Now I'm wondering if this is to be expected or if it's an issue with my unit. I have a mark I version and according to some threads people have had their units modded but I'm not sure if that's something that applies here in my situation.
I've made a brief clip illustrating what it sounds like, it's just one chord. First two times it's played with the bb preamp in front and then two times in the loop. As you can hear the hiss between the first two chords is very noticeable compared to the last two.

Any ideas or thoughts on how I could improve this? I know it makes little sense to run this pedal in the loop but I wanted to know how it works as I'm looking into buying a darkglass bk7 and running it there. So this hiss worries me a bit.
Thanks in advance
Viktor
