I've started to notice that a few effects placed after my Fulltone Solid State Tape Echo don't function correctly. For example, I have a Malekko lo-fi Echo. I've been using it as a chorus pedal, turning the delay all the way down, and using the mod section for chorus. Sounds pretty cool. Anyway, when this is on and placed after the SSTE the pedal barely modulates at all. When I flip the bypass switch to disengage the SSTE the pedal goes back to functioning normal. This happens even if I completely disengage the tape heads from going on the SSTE but as long as the SSTE is engaged it makes the Lo-Fi Echo function weirdly. This has happened with other pedals as well, Ibanez AD-80. Just doesn't function right, the delays are almost non existent when the SSTE is on.
Anyone have any insight into why this might be happening? A phase flip issue in the SSTE?
