Big problem with MOD DUO: sound input 1 modified by effects input 2

Could you tell us what you did so that other users who face the same problem don’t have to solve it again? Thanks a lot!

Pay attention to the level! Try to stay between -20 and -10 dB. When multiple signals are combined, they are added together at the master output (max ~ -6 db).
Anything above 0 dB ~distorts the audio signal and leads to (extremely) high CPU usage.

sorry for the delay of my replay, i changed the Tiny gain with gain control (see the photo)

-20 or -10 of what??? the level of each pedal or the general output?

In the signal path of each pedal, I try to stay around -20 to -10 dB. I often use multiple signal paths that are then summed at the master. At the master out, I try not to exceed -6 dB.

If I’m above 0 dB anywhere in the signal path, the CPU performance increases noticeably.

I got into the habit of using -20 to -10 dB because I read it somewhere once:
