I have been know to get a pedal input and output muddled and I can guarantee that the pedal will not work that way (red face) smile.

Are you running it on the battery rather than an electric supply? If so have you checked that there's no packing on the battery terminals?

Do you have the level turned all the way down?

Not unusual at all.
It's called a "Ground Loop" I believe.
It makes all pedals not play together so nicely.
