Hello all. I've put this query in the fx category purely due to the fact that the issue hasn't arisen when I play directly through to my amp from the guitar. I have recently purchased three fx pedals that I have used all together for the first time today. The circuit is guitar...compressor/limiter.....multi effects pedal.....looper....amp. Things were going OK but there are occasions where the volume from the amp seems to fade out....and back in again. It doesn't cut out like maybe an iffy guitar lead. I keep strumming and sound fades in again! Not good when I'm trying to play the solo Kon Tiki by The Shadows!!!

So I'm reading the 'Best amp for home use' thread with interest.
Completely normal. It's picking up noise from the guitar and amplifying it.
That could be a fault in the reverb tank, or noisy surroundings. The reverb transducers are basically like single-coil guitar pickups, so they will also pick up noise and hum.
That will definitely not help...
The bookcase shouldn't make any difference, but you may also have an earthing problem, or a noisy environment - does your room contain a computer, dimmer lights, a phone charger, or assorted other modern electrical gear?

My one and only pedal is powered by a power supply (not battery). It's getting to the point where I might invest in a multimeter and try some testing of the pedal continuity.
The little Roland Blues Cube amps look good.
