Default Am i connecting the right way?

Hi,
I start with my guitar pluged into an a/b box one (a) into a TC ditto x2 and (b) into a Digitech Trio +, the Ditto goes into two amps and the Trio into a monitor via the mixer out, the Trio works fine but the Ditto makes a huge popping sound every time i clear a loop and a thud when i press to start a loop. Any help would be appreciated.

I've had such problems in the past using cheaper, passive a\b boxes. I went to a Radial powered unit, and that resolved them. That's just one possibility: how your two amps interact could also be part of it. I assume you've experimented on these signal chains without the a\b box in line? I'd try that too, just to start narrowing things down

Thanks for your help, i will try your suggestions, but a new a/b pedal could be the way to go if all else fails.

Obviously the first thing to check is if the Ditto makes those noises when you plug the guitar straight into it.
