I watched your video on this valvulator mini and it shows to use this device between the input of the amp. I’m assuming if you’re going to integrate this with the ZMACS, then you would use this in front of the input of the ZMACS before the ZMACS sends the signal out to all four amps.
Can you confirm?

Dave,
I just purchased your Valvulator in hopes that this finally works. Please confirm that this will go before your input on the ZMACS or if it should be used before the effects send or return on the Waza. If this final solution doesn’t work, then I’m at a loss with why the ZMACS won’t play nice with the attenuator loop and other devices.

In this case we’re using the Mini to improve the sonic quality vs what you’re getting with the device you’re currently using to stop the squeal.
Connect the Mini in place of your current isolation box. Use the second unbalanced output and set the ground lift switch to the up position.

It’s still so unfortunate that none of your stuff works in my set up. I just bought the PS100 to replace waza tube expander hoping that this squealing would stop but it still doesn’t. It happens when the effects loop is used. I’ve tried individual rack effects, single effects pedals and they all squeal. I have this hooked up with the ZMACS 4x4 just like you show in your published instructions and none of it plays together. It’s too bad because the PS100 sounds so much better than the waza but who can have this noise. Nothing you suggested works.
It’s not that the gear doesn’t play well together. It’s simply that there is a hidden complication. Unfortunately your verbal description and video isn’t providing the insight we need to help you.
This is why a clear and detailed photo of your full connection scheme is going to be required.
