Literally, go step by step in your build. Make sure you soldered the switch correctly and your 'input' is really 'input', 'send' is really 'send', etc. Sounds like you have something swapped or reversed. Is this a passive looper?
It is a passive looper, the weirdest thing is that it worked with my acoustic guitar and my roland amp at home .... and then i took it to rehearsal and it only made noises with my passive jazz bass and my warwick amp....
