My Musical Peeps... I am in need :(

Alright, here's the scoop - I'm old school and dig stomps as opposed to multi-MIDI set ups. Anyway, I have the BOSS BCB-60 carrying case with AC power. In the line up, it starts (INPUT) with the PW-10 (V-Wah) into the OD-3 (Overdrive) into the CE-5 (Chorus) into the BF-3 (Flanger) into the DD-6 (Digital Delay) and then goes (OUPUT) out via either A and/or B sockets (mono or both for stereo).

I've also checked with BOSS support site and the PW-10 is always supposed to start the loop - this is the newest addition to the line up. ANYWAY, couple things happening here... I use the FX in a parallel tube buffered loop in my VH4S - my channels are selected either manually or by the Columbus (MIDI). I also programmed the VH4S through the Columbus to have all channels go through the FX loop, channels 1 through 4.

When the channels are selected outside of the loop, they sound awesome as always. Most certainly the 1 and 3 on the VH4S. When the channels are looped into the FX, this is what happens:
1. My clean channel has this dirty overdrive going through it when NO pedals are selected. I know the V-Wah is to blame (I think??) as I've read it all over the net - but does anyone know how to get this overdrive dirt off my clean channel?? Bypass doesn't work, OFF doesn't work, I have to unplug the thing...
2. The other FX, such as Flange and Chorus, don't work unless the V-Wah is engaged.
3. While the Flange and Chorus are not working when the V-Wah isn't engaged, the Digital Delay does work, but very minimally.
4. I took the V-Wah out completely... Remember, the 2nd pedal in the line up was OD. Well, same thing, the other FX don't work unless the OD is engaged (Chorus and Flange) and the DD is barely noticeable. OD engaged? All work well.
5. The pedals were NOT reliant on the OD when the V-Wah was 1st in line... But they were dependent on the OD when it was 1st in line.

:powpow: :boxer: :uzi: :codeak: :bash: :dunno:

Anyone??
