fx return to work on blackstar

[wilso31 0]

Hey Guys I'm trying to set up my fire hawk to my  my backstair ht-5r. I've connected up using 4 cable set up.

• guitar to guitar in
• firehawk out to fx return on amp.
• fx send to fx return on firehawk
• FX send to input on amp

Now when I play the guitar the amp sounds are that of the presets but I want to use the valves of the amp and not all the presets what do i need to do

 

currently the fx sounds are going through the amp and it bypasses the amps valves

 

please help

Activate the FX Loop and assign it to a switch. This is will be your Blackstar preamp.

 

Then edit the FX Loop block and raise the mix to 100%.

Will this allow me to use my distortion from my blackstar? Do I have to turn cabs off etc or will doing this bypass the amps? Thanks for reply

What I described will allow you to switch between an amp model and your Blackstar by hitting the loop footswitch. The cab setting is up to you, just try some options and choose what works for you.
