Have you tried each pedal on its own?

Experiment...

Take all but the 1st one in the chain out. If that works put the 2nd one back in the chain. If that works...etc.

Logic says the problem is either the MXR, or the way you changed the cables to add it.

I have this problem with the M80 all the time. Make sure that the plug is in all the way. The jacks are a little tight sometimes.

Ha! I do the same thing all the time, but on my bass. I'll check all my cables, power supplies, and pedal settings for like ten minutes then realize...

Heh, I hate it when that happens. I sometimes step on my output cable from my board and partially unplug it. Drives me nuts.

I do that. Since I started properly messing around with effects the most common mistake is forgetting to plug my bass in.

Mine's usually the cable between the amp and the last pedal.
