The newer Echoplexes have a limiter on the path into the loop. It is there 
to prevent clipping of the digital convertor input. It doesn't affect the 
dry audio path. If you have the input turned up a little too high, you 
could be engaging the limiter in the loop path. This would result in your 
loops being slightly lower volume than the direct audio. Try adjusting the 
input level and see if it changes.
