Wah/Dist Pedal level dropping

[Mootallica]

I'm trying to find some information regarding the combination of these two pedals with the rest of my rig. I think it'd be easiest to tell you what I have set up in my rig first:

From Start to End
-Rickenbacker 4003s5 / Traben Phoenix 5
-Shure PGX 14 Wireless
-Korg Pitchblack Tuner
-Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor
------- (Looped) EHX Nano Steel Leather
-Boss ODB-3 Bass Overdrive
-Mesa M9 Carbine Head through a Vintage Powerhouse 6x10' Cab

Now, at the end of my normal effects chain (Between the Overdrive/Amp), I am interested in putting in a setup like this:

Loop Pedal to run:
EHX Bass Big Muff Pi
Morley Power Wah

This is mainly for me to use in lead sections. I have used Distortion Pedals/Wah pedals before in this rig that I have borrowed from friends, and I have come up with the same problem that when I run the Wah and Distortion, my level significantly decreases. It is not a power or a cable issue, as I am running independant daisy chains and I have enough current to power the pedals.

I am fairly certain I will be purchasing a Morley Power Wah to run with the EHX Bass Big Muff Pi, but I am afraid I am going to have the same issue.

Now, to my main question, if the decibel cut still prevails, would it be worth throwing in a boost pedal such as the Morley Buffer Boost (or another you could recommend) in the Dist/Wah loop just to boost those when needed?

All 3 of these pedals will always be on but I will bypass them when not needed through the use of the loop pedal.

If you could help me out it'd be appreciated

Usually, people combining a wah with a distortion complain that the resulting extreme increase in loudness punctured their eardrums, destroyed their speakers, scratched all their CDs, and made their kitten explode.

By "usually" I mean "everyone but you".

There is something going wrong with how you have it set up, if you get a volume drop. As always, the answer is to use the process of elimination. Take apart the chain and start with just the two "offending" pedals--do they have this problem by themselves? What if you swap in different cables? What if you try different power supplies? What if you reverse which pedal goes first? Etc., with all the permutations, and no assumptions.

Good luck!

This has normally been the case as well but I dont know why this is happening.

I have tested a few different adapters (I'm running two seperate daisy chains, one for my effects, the other for the loop effects that run seperately), I have swapped both of those around and they work fine. All the leads work fine as I've interchanged as well.

I might have to do a bit more tinkering when I get back to my rig in the next few days

Thanks for the prompt reply as well
