Why dont you describe the kind of pain a bit, like:
Only the loop is distorted or even the direct signal?
Does it depend on volumes?
Does it rather sound like a bad speaker or like a guitar distortion?
Does it go away when the loop reduces by feedback?
Does it change according to temperature?
...

But I do not see why we would discuss that on the list...
