Can anybody tell me where I can get  a zero loss PC board or layout.  I can't see paying $85+ for this stupid simple kit from you know where.

There are plenty of FX loop kits with a wide range of prices. If you prefer to roll your own take a look around the ampgarage.com forums.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

You might look at this:   https://www.aaelectronicspcb.com/product-page/the-elator-fx-loop-d-lator-style

Board is $20 (very rugged), with very nicely drawn schematic.   I have not built this myself, but have used this style of Fx loop, and it seems to work well.  Not sure if it is zero-loss.    The ampgarage is the source of the schematic info.

If you are interested say me and I'll search and post it
