HI - semi-noob here with what may be a common question - or maybe not...
I'm a bass player and until recently used my HXS as the core of my ampless rig, which I use 90% of the time.
I recently acquired a Bergantino Super Pre (BSP) which I want to use as my primary ampless rig. But, I want to continue to use the FX patches I've built in my HXS. The BSP has an effects loop and I thought it would be straightforward to use that to link in the HXS, but I can't get it to work properly. I connected the BSP send to the HXS return and the HXS send to the BSP return. I made the BSP FX loop was enabled. I placed a send/return block before the effects in the HXS. I get some sound when I engage an effect, but it's quite quiet and I can't get it loud enough to be useable. Further, when I turn the effect off, I don't get any output at all - my bass goes away entirely.
In my aged and slightly damaged brain, I envisioned being able to use the HXS as an ordinary effect pedal, but I'm not getting there.
I really don't want to abandon the HXS in favor of standalone effects pedals. Can someone wiser than I please talk me through this?
Thanks,
Phil
