new to mbox 3 pro - setup question

[keenast]

I try to do a very simple thing,
> input 1: clean electric guitar
> output 1: into guitar pedals and then > into input 2

to get 1 clean track and one track with FX

I seem to get close to what I want, unfortunately I'm getting a feedback loop the way I do it.

I probably have to change some settings in the Mbox control panel - I just don't understand yet what and how to do/change.

I hope that makes sense, help appreciated

Hi.

Have you tried muting the input 2 track during recording?

[keenast]

No, I have not. I'll try that today, thank you!

The OUTPUT level of the MBox will most likely overload your FX pedals, if they're meant for a guitar to plug in directly. You will probably have massive distortion, even after you get past the 'feedback loop' issue.
