Thanks for the reply!
My first post was incorrect.
If I plug a patch cord into my laptop and out to my external amp I get nothing at all.
I get my audio by listening with headphones plugged into my Toneport UX 1. That is also my audio input in Power Tracks. When I run a cord from the headphone jack in the Toneport to the external amp is when I get all the muddyness.
Thanks for helping!
