Samdbl Posted July 16, 2025 Share Posted July 16, 2025 I’m trying to get stereo effects (from a Hx Effects unit) running through two different amps effects loops. I have followed directions, best I can, to do this via the 7cm and the 5cm. I spent all night doing it, and never got the formula correct. I’m sure I had the physical connections correct. I think it was the internal routing that were off. The most I got were low level effected signal coming out of one channel/side. At one point I had a clean signal on one side and wet signal on the other. Could someone please give a clear, step by step of how I need the patch to be routed. I just had one pat with a stereo fx loop in a block before a string of stereo effects. Ps the 5 cable method looks intriguing to me, as it’s less cables and possibly less phasing issues. I think it’s where you slave one Amps preamp to another’s power amp, and spread the effects over the two. However I only found one video on that. I tried to follow directions. But that is the scenario where I had a clean signal from one amp (clean as in, no preamp distortion or effects) and were from the other. i just want a method that works smoothly.

Schmalle Posted July 16, 2025 Share Posted July 16, 2025 Have you managed to do the 4CM with one of your amps? If so connect the Out R with your other amp's Return - that's all to get the 5CM. For the 7CM replace the FX Loop block with the stereo FX Loop block, connect as seen on page 10 of the 3.8 manual and you should be good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samdbl Posted July 16, 2025 Author Share Posted July 16, 2025 I did manage 4cm. I’m pretty sure those are the connections I tried. And I was getting weird anomalies that I mentioned, I’ll try again shortly and report back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samdbl Posted July 16, 2025 Author Share Posted July 16, 2025 Ok, I got it going, more or less. Two problems I'm now having It seems like all of the effects are distributed evenly between the two amps. But for some reason, the reverb block is only coming out of one amp. It's a stereo block. At the end of a series chain. I've tried other reverbs. They're all doing the same thing. Secondly, I'm getting some weird buzz/noise stuff. I assume that could grounding or loop issues I'll have to track down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
