OK, this sounds just a little bit blasphemous but bear with me.
My AFII is not my first modelling amp nor is it my only one.
My first is the cheap (90 dollar pawn shop prize) Behringer Bass V-Amp Pro, rack mount.
I've had a lot of fun with that even though its method of controlling many parameters is holding down various combinations of buttons and turning knobs and trying to decipher what that oh so informative two digit LCD display is telling me.
Despite that I was able to get some tones out of it that are really fun but I don't claim they're particularly "authentic" or faithful to the amp that they're supposed to be modelled after.
Although the AFII I have is orders of magnitude better than the Behringer, the fact remains that there are some sounds I've built in the Behringer that I have not been able to duplicate in the AFII.
So, what I'd like to do is integrate the Behringer into my AFII's signal path. And when I want that sound,
just call up a preset that basically does nothing but route my guitar signal into the Behringer and go back into the AFII.
That doesn't sound so difficult, does it? Use the 4CM effects loop, done, right?
Guitar plugged into AFII front panel jack. AFII loop out to Behringer loop in. Behringer loop out to AFII loop in.
Well, apparently not. It appears that the Behringer doesn't want to be used as somebody else's b***h. It has to (as far as I can ascertain) start from an input signal via either the guitar input jack or the line input jack on its own front panel.
So I can make that work if I plug my guitar directly in to the front of the Behringer.
But that defeats the point of the exercise.
What would work is being able to route the guitar direct sound out of the AFII via another send/output jack to the Behringer.
But I don't know how to do that or even know if it can be done.
