7CM issue

[JakeMann35]

Hi All

 

I'm having issues with the 7 cable method. I believe everything is wired as it should be. But when both amps are on, one seems to control the volume of the second. The second is very quiet and very noisy.

 

Anyone know how to resolve it

Ah... just needed a stereo fx send and return... Not mono!

I've been trying for two days to get this sorted and I've had nothing work.  Until now (FINALLY!)........

 

The above helped.  I have a couple of questions.

 

1. I could NOT figure out how to change the FX loop from mono to stereo using the controls on the HX effects.  I had to download the HX Edit App.  Changing the FX Loop to stereo in this editor is easy.  How do you change the FX block to stereo on the device?
2. The only way I can get the 7CM method to work while keeping the signal to amp#2 into the inout (and not directly to the power amp section of amp#2) is to put the stereo FX block as the last block in the signal path.  Is this what everyone else is experiencing?
