Basically what I said up top it's hard to get the RFP be born to get all the things I want on the four channels on one it's just so complicated and going to go back and forth back and forth back and forth if you don't do this right now go all the way back I don't know how to explain it is just really a pain I really wish I had something else I I mean. some people like I guess I'm on a dump

it maybe interference picked up through an unsheided or poorly sheided cable or through single coil type pickups rather though the amp itself. You might also try get your power for the amps and this unit through different circuits.
I would spend some time with contact cleaner, apply it to the switch contacts of any 1/4 inch jacks, and all of the connectors to the effects boards- it will entail some disassembly. Check all chassis ground connections you may have one that is a bit loose, broken, or corroded.
The Mackie support downloads for manuals has 2 sections- you needed to look at the top at the "discontinued products" Where these are.
You CAN'T send ANYTHING to microphones since they are INPUT devices.
If you want apply effects to the audio coming FROM them then this is what you do:
Adjust the trim and faders for normal use and verify the mics are working.
NOW for those mics you want to put effects on, turn the knob labled "FX" above EACH mic FADER that you want effects on... it will be the orange topped ones... about the fourth one up ablve the PAN and the two MON knobs. Adjust these to send each mic into the effects mixing buss. Start by setting them at 12 o'clock. You will use these to proportion the amount of effects applied to individual mics.
Next, advance the FX fader/slider to around the Unity mark... this controls the amount of the FX mix buss goes into the FX processor.
Next adjust the knob above the MAIN fader that says FX to Main. This controls the amount of the FX that is sent into the MAIN mix buss...
We are almost there... Select the effect you want with the effect knob to the number of the effect you want... it will be blinking AFTER a change... the effect will NOT have changed yet... WHEN you want the effect to take effect, PRESS DOWN on the effect knob and the effect number will stop blinking and you now have the effects on those mics... ADJUST the three level things... the knbs under each channel to proportion between the mics... adjust the FX fader for the USUAL control of effect amount... and finally the FX to main knb to set the limit of the effect going to the MAINS.
First thing is to quit "stomping"... these switches are not made to hammer very hard. There are several possibilities here... make sure one is not carrying dirt that works its way into the area that pushes in as it can block the contacts... keep the shoes/feet clean. If the retaining nuts around these come loose and pressure is applied, the circuit board inside can be bent and or broken.
What you can try is to lube the switches with CRC226 available at Home Depot in the electrical depaartment... use ONLY that product as there are other CRC products there as well. Flow a liberal quanity down the plunger of the switches.and operate them. This might work if the contacts only need cleaning and lube... HOWEVER often abused switches have broken parts and it is fatal and requires replacement... The bad news is that MOST of these are Metric and the replacements you find at hardware stores may NOT quite fit... also they cost about $10 each typically...
The above are hints and insights for you... ultimately you will likely have to have the switches replaced and unless you are electronically adept, it will not be a DIY project.
150 watts should be easily handled by four Peavey speakers in the connection you described.. If the Peavey's are 8 ohms, then your total load was 8 ohms for the series/parallel arrangement which is well within the 2 ohm drive capability of the Crate according to specs.
I question if you really mean the speakers were in series? This requires a special cable to do this. Now if you mean they were "daisy chained" like the amp went to one speaker and another cable connected that speaker to another, then you REALLY had ALL speakers in parallel electrically which would be at the 2 ohm low limit of the amp... In either case, with only 1/4 of the 150 Watts to each, the speakers should NOT have been damaged. The amp MAY have been damaged. Try each speaker individually at a REASONABLE level to test.
If you plug into the effects loop out jack,OFTEN the connection to the internal power amp is broken so you might have to arrange a special cable as a wye to go back into the power amp as well as your external amp. In any case pwere ALL interconnected amps, etc from the same power source/receptacle for system safety.
Usually the adapter will over ride the battery when used. 1) Make sure your 1/4" cables are working properly without the pedal "in-line".
2) Take out battery, and use just the adapter only. Make sure it is the correct and proper adapter that works with Boss. Usually the PSA-120. If you are not using a Boss Adapter, make sure yours is a direct replacement with same specifications. 9V/200mA. And "tip negative". DO NOT use Radio Shack stuff, nothing against them, but there adapters just don't mix well with Boss products and the like.
2) Try just the battery, no AC adapter. Remember to unplug the input when not in use. Saves battery.
Basic rule of thumb...when using correct AC adapters for all your pedals all the time, and all sounds good, then take out the batteries.
If you still experience problems, it would be an internal IC chip most likely. From there post another question maybe.
Use four (4) TRS cables. Connect from the
AUX "send" (left and right) to the input of the effects unit with two of the cables. Use the other two cables to connect from teh effects out jacks to the AUX "returns" left and right.
The external effects when used would require an effect processor with left and right channels. You need four cables total for the effects... the two channels out to the effect unit and two cables to bring it back to the power amps.
Remember to use your pan controls if you want certain inputs to go more to either the left or right outputs.
UNDER THE LIT UP SCREEN, ABOUT 3 INCHES DIAGONALLY TO THE RIGHT, YOU WILL SEE FOUR DIFFERENT SMALL BUTTONS- FIRST BUTTON IS FOR (E.Q), THE 2ND BUTTON IS FOR (SEND). PUSH THE SEND BUTTON!!! THEN YOU WILL SEE A SCREEN THAT SAYS "EFFECT SEND", AT THE TOP WHERE IT SAYS LOOP POSITION LEVEL.. TURN YOUR KNOB UNTIL YOU HEAR THE REVERB SOUND..(THE BIG KNOB)
