Does Buffer Interfere with Harmonist?

Hi All,

Just got an Effects Gizmo, lovely bit of kit.

I have a Boss HR-2 Harmonist as the first input from the guitar. I have been running it in loop 1 and have noticed it is having trouble tracking the notes from the guitar. I have always run it infront of all other effects before to avoid this problem, so it is a little annoying that it has started doing this.

I have tried running a y cable from the guitar with one side going to the EG input and the other side going to the "detector" socket on the HR-2 and that didn't work.

Is there any chance the buffer could be messing with the HR-2? Should I try the trick of moving the buffer to loop 2?

The other possibility I suppose is that the HR-2 is on it's way out.
 
Thanks,

I tried that just to see what would happen last night. It didn't solve the problem, perhaps the Harmonist just struggles with active guitars.

I have the buffer in Loop 3 since I also have a dynamic filter (auto wah) in loop 2. So I will leave the buffer where it is for good practice.
