Peavy Basic 112. Feedback after buying a pedal

I've been using the same amp since I started playing bass 2 years ago. Recently I bought a washburn B-2 and I had some feedback but fixed it. 2 weeks ago I bought a used digitech death metal distortion pedal from sam ash and it has caused more feedback from what I can see. It also never wants to work. Any ideas?

What was causing your feedback issues the first time?

I LOVE my Peavey Basic 112, the Red-face version from 2004. I replaced the 8 ohm with a Mesa Powerhouse by Eminence 4 ohm and it's now a super clean sounding 70 watts! But concerning the feedback issue, are you paying attention to the idea of unity gain? I use a BDDI and favor the treble side, but if I try to crank the BDDI too far past unity then I get feedback when too close. Just a thought.

basic is a solid amp.. I'd look toward other elements..
