Apogee Duet and guitar software distortion

Hi guys,

yes it's me, the guy with the eternal Duet issues. I have been testing some new pieces tonight - put some DI's (Monacor) in between outputs and my speakers and plug in external monitor and un-BOOOM - silence.. very happy, the important thing on the DIs was the ground lift switch, once i hit that I had silence and seemingly no signal loss. I am getting there but still have a problem and this is not related to whether an external monitor is plugged in and maybe not grounding but unfortunately it makes the same noise I had when I had all these problems in the first place:

When I use a guitar amp program like GR3 or Logic's - upon using a distortion/heavy overdrive pedal effect it's really a bad noise even before I hit a note - massive bees/fax/white noise. Now I have been playing guitar for a long time and playing in real life so no software :p so I know what feedback is and cluster distortion but to me this did not sound normal. Have others been trying Duet with distortion in guitar software?

cheers all!
