Hello,
Ultra happy owner of a Maz 18 nr MK II since one year now, my Eventide time factor (set to line level) is always cliping in the loop.... I set ma Z at max gain on Hi input and master level at 10 o'clock.
If I lower the gain at noon, the TF is ok but if I go beyond, cliping is back ?
Any idea here for this problem ?
Sorry for my bad English, I'm French and have a good day !

Is the clipping indicator light just flashing? Or can you actually hear bad clipping artifacts from the delay?
In my experience with Eventide stuff you want the input level as high as possible to limit noise. I've had the clipping light illuminate pretty much steady with some amps, but it was never a problem in what I actually heard. So if it's just the light I wouldn't worry about it.
And welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the Forum - a lot of good people and information. Nicolas has a great point - listen with your ears and not eyes. Have you tried the low input to see if you still have the same problem?

Nicholas : TF is flashing red as soon as I hit a string ! delay repeats are horrible ! Jaguarguy :no I don't, my sound is on the Hi input but if I lower the volume/gain at noon, TF won't flash. I've tried another delay in the loop and was able to have is input not flashing but the sound lost all is body and gain too ! Tried a patch cable in the the loop and it was ok !
thanks for the welcome !
edit: tried the low input and same problem, TF and same cables work fine in another amp's loop....

Well, that does sound like you're overloading it then. If it were me I'd lower the level sent to your time factor with a JHS little black box. Just turn it down enough for the clipping to go away. That should do the trick. JHS Little Black BoxGood luck with it and keep us posted!

Isn’t there a way to adjust the line level on the timeline? Seems like there are either switches or another way to adjust the input signal level.

Try moving the pedal away from the amp and note any changes and as always check your plugs and inputs.

I have the maz mkr ii reverb and same issue with my hx stomp for clipping. I found out that a transparent OD turned on in the loop makes it go away. Not sure if it’s a buffer thing or what.
I found lowering the loop volume enough to ditch the clipping made the amp sound bad IMO (actually even slightly lowering it wasn’t great). Maybe if u boost again before sending back to return may restore it. Not sure. Also I tried line level on the hx stomp and that was too much of a volume cut and couldn’t reasonably boost it back to instrument to Return the signal back to the amp.
Just sharing experience fwiw. Gonna follow along though. I do wonder if it’s a buffer thing. Try a Drive pedal on (gain off tho and try to eq pedal for transparent as possible) in the loop before ur H9 just to see if that simply stops the clipping.
Also I couldn’t stop the clipping with a pedal that had buffered bypass. Pedal had to be on.

I'm thinking of trying the loop again, but I don't know how to deal with the fx loop clipping my Hx Stomp. The stomp has features to deal with hot loops, but they just are working well for the Maz. Maybe black box is the cure if it doesn't alter the sound. Plus, I seems like the power amp is overdriving with the Maz (couldn't be wrong), so I'm not sure how much better delays are in the loop anyway. Let me know how it went.
