works OK when plugged directly into the amplifier.....It only distorts
when I interrupt that line with the guitar effects unit.

Aha. Well, if the guitar pedal is getting a signal above
-10 dBV, it may be clipping internally. It is running off
of a (more or less) 9V DC supply, either from a battery or wall-wart.
As a result, the maximum signal it can generate is around +/- 4.5 volts,
or about +6 dBV. If the input signal is really hot, it might be clipping
against that right at the input.

Perhaps this (TC-Helicon Voice Tone Harmony G )unit will do
it for me.....

I was going to suggest something similar. Rather than
chorus, you might get a better sound from a small pitch detune.

I should get it in a few days.....I'll let you know if it works OK.

I got it via UPS yesterday, and it works great.....The unit provides it's
own phantom power at the XLR mike input jack, and I am very pleased with the
effects so far. (I haven't had time to investigate all of them yet)
Certainly there is no distortion from my clip-on AT pro 35R horn mike, and
that's important, because I will probably buy a couple more of them for
other horns to play along with and they are $120 each....I am one of these
people that likes pro equipment on an amateur's budget....:^)
