Why does it seem that home improvement projects are never really finished????

Because they seem never to stop! I am not going to the extent you are but we just started turning a duplex into one house. Roof done and bathroom on one side 3/4 of the way now. So I have "friends" that do this stuff and hire them here and there to save money. One bud basically burnt his bridge. He did this twice. He will start a job and get 1/2 way and start not showing up for 2-3 days. I call my other bud in and he finishes it up. I try to help them as they are raising families and won't get real jobs. I have known them 20+ years now and Godfather to one's daughter. Now I am waiting for Dawn to decide what floor and walls she wants to finish that 1 up :(

You are a good man. No good deed goes unpunished.
 
So anyway....I traded my Mojo Hand FX Odessa for a WAH and a Memory Boy. I have tried battery and power supply and a 1 spot and turned all the dials and the button and I get notta :( And so anyway SG>Sparkle Drive Mod> Rockett .45> EQ (slight mid hump)>Gravy Chorus>HOF (plate) > both my amps = :dood::H5::cheers:

What do you mean? The pedals you traded for do not work?

Apparently the WAH doesn't. It's my 1st WAH ever played with but it literally does nothing at all :( The Memory Boy works and very touchy, 1 way or the other on a couple of the dials and she gets weird fast. I just wanted an analog delay to put before the gain stage. Plus it has chorus to :) Waiting on the guy to reply back to me now about the WAH.

Whah pedals often result in substantial volume drops. See if that is the issue and then think about moving it in your chain. I had a memory Toy and it was a very solid piece of equipment, easy to use and predictable. Try the delay in an FX loop to see what it does.

I am still wrapping my head around the concept of the loop. Haven't actually used them as 1/2 the amps I had didn't have them. I was discussing my amps with someone and they were saying my loop isn't like normal loops as it comes between the TS circuit and the Amp side.....but as I explained to them isn't that how they work on other amps? They come in between the pre amp and power amp section? If I am correct then I don't get the problem with mine being where it is? My TS circuit IMO is the Pre-amp section which I actually can bypass completely. I do have a flashback I run after my dirt. I was looking for an analog delay for experimenting with a basic short repeat before dirt ala EVH and how he ran his echoplex.

I am not sure what a TS section isin an amp, but if your loop is after the pre-amp tubes or any solid state gain section (is that a TS section?), you are in the right place

It was the on/off switch not engaging correctly.

He has an Ibanez Tube Screamer amp.

Yes correct. Tube Screamer circuit >boost>FX Loop>actual amp. The TSA 30 does have gain on the amp side so I would imagine there will be a pre-amp tube after, I guess I need to look at schematics for them, I could be wrong about it being the same. Bought both used so no paperwork on them. The TSA30 is suppose to be modelled after an AC30 circuit and the TSA15 is a Fender circuit. No gain on it. Both are warm clean sounding amps.
