i was hoping this would be easy  for me but i guess not.    here is the scoop.  i have a les paul and a blackstar tube amp.    I love the tone and crunch  i get from my blackstar's gain channel and it lends itself well to a bunch of songs my band plays. 

 

i was told to plug in the firehawk to the fx loop in the back using 4 cables.  then on firehawk app turn off all of the effects and under amp setting (clean amps) hit the no amp icon.

 

i did all of this and my clean out of the amp sounds good but when i hit the switch on my  blackstar amp to get to my gain crunchy  awesome tones  all i get is a hiss sound

 

what am i doing wrong .. there must be a way to bypass the firehawk ..or is the only way to do this is to unplug my guitar from firehawk and plug staight into my amp?

 

please help.  overall i like the firehawk  but i dont want to lose the awesome crunch from my amp

1) Did you enable the FX loop FX?

2) What was its placement in the signal chain?

3) Are you sure you connected it correctly?  
- Firehawk FX SEND -> Guitar Input on AMP
- Firehawk FX RETURN -> AMP FX SEND
- Firehawk FX 1/4 " out -> AMP FX RETURN
- Gitar -> Firehawk Gitar Input

4) What was the decibel settings on the FX Loop?
5) Was the loop FX at 100%
