Hello,
I'm running into what I hope is just an anomaly, but its a rather soul crushing one at that! This is the first time having these issues, hoping someone can help. Note that I did just rewire my board, but its wired correctly to the instruction manual for single amp effects loop application. No issues with cabling (all tested), no issues with specific pedals or power to them (also all tested).
Issues:
1. Buffer 1 must be on to get any significant volume, even with all subsequent loops off. Without buffer 1 on I get maybe 10% of the signal (muffled).
2. Even with Buffer 1 on, I get significant volume loss (~75%) and loss of tone when engaging loops 1-6. Its as if my drive pedals are dead (and yes, I cranked the volume). Disengaging the drive pedals while keeping the loop active restores volume and tone. Note that Loop 1 (compressor) has decent volume, but I'm turning it up more than usual. Loop 2 seems ok too (pog) but also slightly quieter than it should be. Loops 3 to 6 seem quite quiet and lifeless.
It seems that as long as the first 6 loops are completely off and Buffer 1 is on, everything works great, sounds great. As soon as I turn a loop on I get nothing back
Routing for Reference:
Guitar --> In 1-4 --> Loops 1-6 (drives, comp, etc.) --> Out 5/6 to Boost/Volume pedal and to front of Amp
Amp Effects Loop Send --> In 7-10 --> Loops 7-10 (delay, reverb, etc.) --> Output A to Amp Effects Loop Return
