AxeFx2 // Marshall DSL100HR head - FX loop issues

[Johnny K.]

Hi guys,

I'm using the AxeFx2 unit combined with the Marshall DSL100H via 4CM-method.
Strange enough, cause every time I put the FX Loop in the signal-chain,
the Axe Fx2 completely overrules the head-amp and only a clean channel is audible.
Basically, the volume/EQ/gain knobs on the head don't have any effect.
If I switch on the overdrive channel, then it's still clean, additionally a weak whistling effect appears in
the background.
I tried almost everything through (along the manual), but I couldn't succeed in any way so far.

Short explanation of my connection:
- guitar input --> back side of the AxeFx2 (Input 1)
- AxeFx2 (return/send, send/return - clear)
- signal output (from AxeFx2) to Marshall Input

Has anyone else had this problem before? Anyone can give a helping hand?

Thanks,

Johnny

PS: the Marshall head doesn't have any FX Loop level, just the on/off option

You are bypassing all of the pre amp when going through the FX Loop. You wont have any control of the amp other than the MV.

Are you adding your effects loop send & return blocks to your preset? If so can you upload a screenshot of your present?

Guys, thanks for your inputs. I fixed it. Didn't took care good enough on the cabling. The 4CM is not logic, at least not from my former experience with rack units.
